Do any of the cutters have a sequence of numbers. I used to deal with Frezite regularly. They should all have Identification numbers.
Heres a link to their website that shows their catalogue of these type of tools...
When considering the Carbide helix system bear in mind the cost of the replacement knives.
Whilst they are 4 sided each knife will cost you somewhere in the region of £4.00 each, so replacing say 60 knives on a 230 mm long head will cost you around £240.00
Are the knives you currently use...
Depends what kerf you might need and the diameter.
150 mm are available in 3.5/4.0/5.0/6.0
180 mm are available in 4.0/5.0/6.0
200 mm are available in 4.0/5.0
There are two grades of these knives and some people confuse which grade is which.
M42 grade are a matt grey colour while the other (much cheaper) knives are a shiny silver colour.
Never good to hit any nails as Trevanion says it will wreck a blade if you hit something very hard.
Its a very specialist job to sharpen blades and you shouldnt be paying more than £6.00 for a 20 tooth blade + vat, so as a 230 x 20 tooth blade would only cost £17.00 + post and VAT its always...
Do you know what grade of knife they are selling? HSS M42 or High Chrome. as someone else mentioned chrome are about half the price of HSS and dont always last very long. Its easy to tell the difference. High Chrome are a shiny silver colour; HSS M42 are a matt grey.
do you know what they are...
Personally I would recommend you DO NOT sharpen your TCT blades.
Professional grinding machines will leave the tops and faces of the teeth at the correct angles and heights.
Sharpening by hand will leave the blade in a mess and you will very quickly need to buy a new one.

Any multi piece tool must be "pinned" to other parts so that all parts have the potential to stop at the same time.
with most dado you cannot pin together pieces as the pin will protrude.
If the pieces are not pinned it is "possible" for the middle parts (chippers) to continue turning when you...
I didnt used to come here very often in recent times but now we have the thread update info I can see where I may be able to advise.
Any reducing bush should be thinner than the plate thickness of the blade.
So a blade described as: 250x2.8/1.8x30 Z=20; has a tooth thickness of 2.8 mm and a...
Afternoon gents.
Not very often I need to ask questions on here but a piece of info.
I need to get a block made (I know Whitehill has it in its catalogue but I can most likely use my own manufacturers to get it more economically)
I need to know the dimensions of the recess in the top and...
