Planer blade supplier recommendation

[Rhossydd]

I need a new set of planer blades for a Kity 636 260x20x2.5

I just bought a pair from an eBay supplier (Appleby woodturning supplies), but they're pretty poor quality.
The blades have a slightly concave face on both blades, plus the quality of the HSS bar seems poor with a slightly dimpled look to it, so they wouldn't be easy to fit either.
Not impressed.

Can anyone recommend a company currently supplying good blades by mail order ?

Thanks in advance

You could give Roy a call at Woodford. He sells a wide range of replacement blades.

No one else bought any blades from someone they'd recommend ?

Thanks Bob, but Cutting Solutions don't supply anything as thin as 2.5mm according to their web site.

I asked in Axminster at High Wycombe and found that, despite the entire lack of information in their catalogue and online, that they stock the size I needed. At first inspection they seem fine and better quality than the rubbish from eBay.

Still worth contacting Doug at Cutting Solutions
