Difference between standard and flush cut blades
1359294
A standard blade is flat and can only cut as close to a wall as the blade guide table will get; about 1/2 inch.A Flush cut blade had a in-set or recessed bell shape so the cutting surface is moved over from the bolting portion so the blade will cut flush with the side of the adjustable depth blade guide.

A flush cut blade sticks out beyond the guard so you could, for example, have a piece of hardwood that you put up against door trim. You can then run the blade flush with the floor and cut the trim so the hard wood can fit underneath the door trim exactly.

A flush cut will cut right up against something like a wall or a cabinet. A standard blade will cut like 1/2 inch away from something not right up against it.

The unit I received had the US standard blades. Sometimes the pictures may just be a representation of the product and not the actual product.

standard is correct. however, do not try to use x-tra heavy duty blades as they are too thick to fit the blade holder.

They are 2 inch cut just like a Rage 2 blade. Had no problems with them at all!

They are the same. I don't know the replacement blade part number offhand, but there is a little pack of replacement blades included in the kit.

Hey Dallas, The main difference between plain edge blade and serrated blades comes down to how you use your blade. Plain edge blades excel at `push cut', where you push the edge against the thing you're trying to cut. Good examples of push cuts are when you're shaving with a razor or whittling a piece of wood. Serrated edges excel at slicing cuts, where you drag the edge across the object you're trying cut. The best example of a slice motion is when you slice a piece of bread. You don't push the blade but rather drag the edge (often using a sawing motion) across the bread. In general the serrated edge will be superior when slicing through thick, tough and fibrous materials. Plain edge blades are best when you need precision and accuracy. Plain edge blades excel at tasks such as carving, dressing an animal, trimming your nails or peeling an apple. The nice advantage of plain edge blades is their versatility. I tend to be a fan of the good old-fashioned plain edge blade. For both my day-to-day needs, and as a craftsman's tool, a plain edge tends to compliment what I want out of a knife.

Straight side cuts the blade, the wavy side chops the cuttings. Straight side towards the earth.

There are different thickness's (kerf width). The blades with fewer teeth tend to be stiffer or thicker (16 TPI vs. 19 TPI). These blades are meant to be flexible and take some use to get proficient with. If you are looking for a stiff (rigid) blade, you may look for a dowel or flush cut or finish hand saw.

I guess one chops things better than the other. The double blade is better i think.

yes, also m12, Ryobi, And Ridgid. probably more, but no experience with them. these cut way faster/cleaner than the Rockwell and Dremel blades.

Looks like the difference is a coating on the blade. Is it worth it?...you decide. I find the 9154 adequate for my occasional bouts in the garden.

I tried using the standard stone (vs the Japanese water stone) once. I found I needed to take off more metal than the stone is designed for, chips in the edge of the mower blade required something coarser than the standard tormek stone. I liked the idea of not losing the temper at the edge of the blade but decided to go back to using a hand file. Also, I didn't want to slip and put a gouge in the stone or have to reface the surface with so much grinding.

The only difference (I would assume) is the angled version's ability to fit into slightly smaller places. I've had good success with the straight version in all my woodworking.

The segmented cutter heads are better then straight blades for a few reasons. First segmented and offset they leave a smother surface on more figured wood (practically no tear out). Second if you nick a nail all you have to do is rotate the segment and move on instead of having to change all of the straight blades. Also I believe that the segmented heads are quieter (however I have never owned any other planer).

The Steel City head is much quieter during operation and cuts smoother than the straight blade. However, one disadvantage is the replacement blade cost more than the regular straight blade.

I ordered the ones with self locking nut... No problem.... However I didn't see where there was a big difference in flight I'm back using original bladed

I believe it just has more blades. I'm not sure it makes a difference. I just needed a new blade because mine was dull. This one suits my needs.
