I dread changing my planer knives but it's time. I found a couple of different styles and wanted some feedback. Any comments or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Y'all are right, it's an MBF. Hard to tell on my iPhone. Still a nice saw and a nice score.

Don't forget to seal the bottoms of the legs, at some point a bottle will break/leak or someone will spill their vino.

Fire Slate has been used in chemistry labs for a long, long time. Google fireslate and you can read about it. The company is still in business and has one of the worst website I have seen.
