I have a Delta 22-540 12-1/2" planer and I'm buying some carbide blades through Magnate Inc.. These blades are not cheap. ($127 ea) There is also a belt that Magnate sells that powers the rollers. Is this belt in good shape. It sells for under $5. I wanted to get some carbide blades for my 37-070 bench top jointer, however I don't seem to be able to find them. So,..... I have decided to have some new blades cryoed. A company called One Cryo has a reasonable price and great turnaround. Their web site is

or you can reach them by phone at 1-800-300-2796 (1-800-300-CRYO) Their process of cryogenics is different than others. They reduce the temp to -300 degrees F over a 12 hour period. Then leave it there for 24 hours before returning it to room temp at the same 12 hour rate, Then it is heat treated by increasing the temp to +300 degrees for three one hour intervals. Their website tells how they are different. Prices for blades are: < 6" $10;
6" to 12" $15; 12" to 18" $20; 18" to 24" $25; > 24" call.
I had a blade on my Troy-bult chipper-vac cryoed and you should see how it cuts through hardwood (walnut).
