I have a portable power plane (Makita 1805N) that takes carbide knives. I have not found any this size to buy,
and am thinking of cutting down 12" ones, which are readily available, I guess with a cut-off wheel.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?
are those the stock knives like on the older ones or replaceable insert ones? had an 1100 for a long time came with their style and changed them out right away for the insert. Well made planers
Won't you have to use something like a diamond wheel to cut carbide?
They’re so easy to change and have to have the right cut out notches and bolt holes. Not worth the trouble unless someone made them specifically for it.
mine can with high speed steel. I changed them out for the insert carbide reversible right at the start so never even got used to the stock ones. different model
This machine is already set up for carbide knives. I actually have a set of HSS knives, but I don't have the other pieces that set the knife height.
I'll look at mine today, but I think mine is the 6-3/4" one rather than the 6-1/8".
