Trusted by professionals across the UK, these knives are the direct replacement for the original Bernardo ADM 410 Surface blades, offering precise fit and reliable performance for both trade workshops and demanding hobbyists. Supplied as a pair, each blade measures 410mm in length, 35mm in width, and 3mm in thickness, matching the exact requirements of the ADM 410 Surface cutter block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach blade is produced from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eT1 High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/b\u003e, a high-tungsten alloy renowned for its edge retention and toughness. T1 HSS contains approximately 18% tungsten, which significantly increases wear resistance and heat tolerance when compared to standard M2 HSS grades. The blades are heat-treated and stress-relieved to a hardness of 62 to 63 HRC, providing the durability needed for planing abrasive hardwoods such as oak, beech, and ash, as well as softwoods. The cutting edge is precision-ground to a 40° bevel, which is the industry standard for planer knives. This geometry delivers a smooth finish, minimises tear-out, and maintains edge strength through repeated sharpening cycles. Xcalibur Tooling’s manufacturing process guarantees that each blade is ground flat and parallel, with strict dimensional tolerances maintained along the entire length. This attention to detail ensures correct seating in the cutterblock, uniform chip removal, and reduced vibration during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resharpenable single-edged design provides long-term value for workshops equipped with sharpening facilities. Each blade can be resharpened multiple times without loss of performance, making them ideal for continuous use in professional environments. The precision-ground edge and consistent thickness across the pair allow for accurate knife setting, which is essential for achieving a straight, chatter-free planed surface. All Xcalibur blades are supplied with protective edge covers and robust packaging to prevent damage in transit, maintaining the integrity of the cutting edge until installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bernardo ADM 410 Surface\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 41\u003c\/span\u003e0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eT1 High Speed Steel (HSS, high-tungsten)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e40° bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSingle-edged, resharpenable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 blades (1 pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMade in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXcalibur Tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoinery and cabinet making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaning hardwoods: oak, beech, ash, iroko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaning softwoods: pine, spruce, cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurniture production and restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral workshop timber preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface finishing prior to assembly or coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Xcalibur Tooling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT1 HSS for superior edge retention and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResharpenable single-edged design for long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-ground for correct cutterblock fit and reduced vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 45 years of UK manufacturing expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality Guaranteed, trusted by workshops across the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll orders are dispatched from Bramhall, Cheshire within 1-2 working days.

Each knife measures 310 mm in length, 35 mm in width, and 3 mm in thickness, matching the original specification. The blades seat correctly in the Bernardo ADM 410 Surface cutter block, providing a secure fit and reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What steel grade are these blades made from, and how does T1 HSS compare to standard HSS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: These blades are produced from T1 High Speed Steel, which contains a higher tungsten content (approximately 18%) than standard M2 HSS. T1 HSS offers superior edge retention and heat resistance, making it particularly suitable for planing abrasive hardwoods. The increased hardness (62–63 HRC) means the blades maintain a sharp edge for longer periods between sharpenings, reducing downtime and improving surface quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these blades resharpenable, and how many times can they be sharpened?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, these are single-edged resharpenable blades. The knives can typically be resharpened several times, depending on the amount of material removed during each sharpening and the condition of the edge. Xcalibur Tooling recommends using professional grinding equipment and maintaining the original 40° bevel angle for best results. Regular inspection and careful sharpening will maximise the lifespan of each blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can these blades be used for planing hardwoods such as oak and beech?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: These T1 HSS blades are engineered for both hardwoods and softwoods, including demanding species like oak, beech, and ash. The high tungsten content and heat-treated structure provide the durability needed for continuous planing of dense timbers. For optimal edge life, use moderate feed rates and avoid excessive depth of cut, especially when working with abrasive or knotty wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do HSS planer blades compare to TCT blades for the Bernardo ADM 410 Surface?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: HSS blades, such as these T1 HSS knives, are resharpenable and provide a fine surface finish across a wide range of timber species. TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) blades offer roughly three times the edge life on abrasive materials but are not resharpenable and are more costly. HSS is preferred in workshops with sharpening facilities and for users who require flexibility across hardwoods and softwoods. TCT is favoured for high-volume production on abrasive timbers where downtime for sharpening must be minimised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the recommended cutting angle for these blades?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The blades are precision-ground to a 40° bevel angle, which is the industry standard for planer knives. This angle provides an optimal balance between edge durability and surface finish, minimising tear-out and maintaining edge strength through repeated sharpening cycles. Maintaining this angle during resharpening is essential for best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these blades supplied as a pair and do they come with protective packaging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, each pack contains two blades, supplied as a matched pair for the Bernardo ADM 410 Surface. The blades are shipped with protective edge covers and robust packaging to prevent damage during transit, ensuring the cutting edge remains in perfect condition until installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these blades manufactured in the UK and what quality controls are in place?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: These blades are manufactured in the United Kingdom by Xcalibur Tooling, a company with over 45 years of experience in producing precision woodworking tools. Each blade undergoes strict quality control checks, including dimensional accuracy, hardness testing, and surface finish inspection, to ensure consistent performance and reliability in professional workshop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xcalibur Tooling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53178825933066,"sku":"410353-2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/4195\/4570\/files\/01-Main_db6d1633-7647-40fd-9b30-64c1c276406c.jpg?v=1772792392","url":"https:\/\/www.woodfordtooling.com\/products\/bernardo-adm-410-surface-planer-blades-410-x-35-x-3mm-hss-reshapenable-knives-1-pair","provider":"Woodford Woodworking Tooling Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
