Customer Reviews

IBC is a Canadian company that manufactures premium replacement blades and chipbreaker sets that fit Lie-Nielsen and WoodRiver hand planes. IBC blades are really nice; I use them and I recommend them.

At .140 inches thick, these are one of the thickest and stiffest replacement blades on the market, significantly reducing vibration and chatter thus leading to improved performance. The steel in these is just fantastic. They keep and hold and edge longer than most other replacement blades.

Each blade set comes with chip-breaker, precisely machined to mate to the blade, making the blade and chip-breaker a true matches set.

If used for older Stanley or Record planes then it requires filing open the throat of the plane open for the blade to fit correctly

Overall:

2-3/8" wide x 7" long blade with matched Chip-breaker.
Sized to fit a No. 7, 6, 5-1/2, 4-1/2 hand planes.
Fits Lie Nielsen, Wood River and Qiangsheng hand planes.

Blade:

High vanadium A-2 Steel, hardened to 60-62HRc.
Cryogenically treated to optimize wear resistance.
0.140" Thick
Precision ground and polished edges.

Chip-Breaker:

High carbon O-1 steel, hardened to 30-32HRc.
0.125" thick
Precision machined and sharpened mating edge.
Precision ground polished edges.
Bevels are mated to achieve a flatness tolerance of +/-0.001” along the entire width of the cutting edge.

Awesome blade set!!!!

Recently started using hand tools more than power tools.
Over a 9 month period I purchased the WoodRiver #4-1/2 Smoother, #5-1/2 Jack and #7 Jointer Planes. Set them up per Rob's instructions and enjoyed using them. Then I decided to do a little upgrade, saved up my pennies and purchased 3 of these IBC sets. They are "exactly" as described. I really noticed how slight of a touch is needed to make adjustment to make the blade parallel. And they are lasting longer between sharpening's. Well worth the money.

I'm glad I pulled the trigger.

I was unsure whether I would notice a difference between this iron and chip breaker set compared with my stock Wood River planes. But I thought I'd try one since Rob has never steered me wrong.

The difference was *immediately* noticeable. The WR set is good, but I didn't realize that there was as much room for improvement as there is. Prepping the blade was quick since it was already in pretty good shape, and I could feel the difference on the first try. This set has earned a permanent spot in my WR 5-1/2.

Plane Iron

Looking forward to many years of making wood curls. Excited to see them back in stock.

PLANE IRON.

Excellent product. It’s great to have a second plane iron ready to go. I sharpen both at the same ti e in a couple of minutes and then can work much longer before I have to sharpen again.
