My planer got much quieter when I changed the blades. I hadn't realized
how dull they had gotten.

How much of a difference did you see when you used the new blades?

In cut quality a bit in particular with some maple I was doing at the
time. I still got some tear out but not near as much as I used to. As
far as noise a BIG reduction, even through the muffs I wear with just
about any power tool. The planer is a two blade 12" Dewalt and it came
with a second set of knives. I sent the first out for sharpening and
I'll be interested in seeing if how the sharpness compares to the
original on the DeWalt set when I swap them out.
