Planer blades Hikoki Norton TCT 82 x 5.5 x 1.1 mm for clipper planer

Replacement planer blades Hikoki Norton TCT 82 x 5.5 x 1.1 mm for clipper planer are tungsten carbide tipped cutting knives designed for use in Clipper-style hand and powered planers. These blades feature a TCT edge for improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance when smoothing, trimming, or dimensioning wood. The compact size makes them compatible with machines that accept 82 x 5.5 x 1.1 mm blades and places them among durable consumables for joinery and carpentry tasks.

Advantages

The TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) construction extends edge life compared with plain high-speed steel blades, reducing the frequency of replacements. Precision ground cutting faces maintain straight, clean shavings and reduce tear-out on softwoods and many hardwoods. Their standardized dimensions and flat ground backs simplify installation and alignment in Clipper-style planers, while the hard carbide tips retain sharpness across extended use cycles.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and leveling wooden boards and panels
• Final dimensioning and fitting of joinery parts
• General carpentry tasks requiring straight, repeatable cuts
• Work on both softwood and commonly used hardwoods

How to use

Ensure the planer is switched off and disconnected from power before attempting blade replacement. Remove the cutter head or blade holder according to the planer manufacturer’s instructions, replace the existing blade with the new 82 x 5.5 x 1.1 mm TCT blade, taking care to orient the carbide tip correctly and to seat the blade flat against the mounting surface. Tighten fastenings to the specified torque and reassemble the cutter head. Perform a test cut on scrap material and, if necessary, fine-tune blade alignment and depth adjustments to achieve the desired surface finish.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves during blade installation and maintenance. Avoid planing excessively resinous or metal-embedded materials without inspection, and replace blades when chipping, rounding, or loss of cutting quality is observed to maintain consistent results.
