I'm sure the life of planer blades varies with the type of wood, blade
speed, number of blades, etc...

That said how many bf of red oak & cedar should I expect to be able to plane
before needing to replace/flip blades

Are we talking 100's of bf or over 1000?

ThankX,

Teak will wear them down faster than cherry. Dirty gritty boards will
also put mileage on blades. A lot depends on how you use your planer.
I'd expect at least 1000 sq feet.
