How many blades does it have and how hard is it to change the blades?

It has two blades. I haven't yet needed to change them so can't help with the second question. Sorry

The planer has three blades but I am not sure about the ease of changing them as I have not had too yet. I have planed many board feet of black walnut and cherry and they are still sharp and produce very good results.

Mine came with the three installed blades. The unit works great. I don't believe changing the baldes would be too hard. I would buy this unit again. I hope this helps..

Yes, loosen the two screws on the old blade and remove the blades, then replace them with these new blades. You should have no problem at all.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

It's recommended that you replace the blades every year and the outer foil every two years. Both are very easy to change.

No instructions. Easy to do, just make sure you have the right piece. Some rotate counter clockwise, others clockwise. Also, make sure you have the proper blade as they are canted differently. Blade swaps are easy, haven't swapped a motor yet.

No you do not need a tool to change the blade. There is a small lever at the front which you pull up to release or insert the blade, then you simply release the lever to lock the blade into place. Very simple and easy to use.

You will need to have Double Edged blades with you, popular brands include Feather, Astra, Personna, Derby, Gillette 7'o'clock, etc. Actually changing the blades on the razor is very easy. This is a 3 piece razor - which means you can disassemble the razor into 3 pieces. The 3 pieces are the handle, the base plate with the safety bar, and the final top post. To install the blade please see the attached link for an image that makes it easier to understand.http://www.shaverhut.com.au/muhle-r41-safety-razor-tooth-comb-chrome.htmlHope this helps.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

very easy. I handed it to my son and said do it. He did. We have had no problems with it and much cheaper than replacing the enitre blade part.

There should be no problem to change blade as long as you have the "Star" configuration, Be sure to torque your new blade

It is easy (I'd youtube the videos because I'm a visual learner) BUT, I would caution you when changing the blades. Obviously you wouldn't put your fingers on the part where the razors stick out. But, even the sides of the razor (the unsharpened sides) can still cut your fingers if you put pressure on them when unscrewing the head.

There are 4 blades in the cartridge and the cartridge pivots. Gives a very close shave. I have been using it since the first of the year. There are no adjustments or settings.

It's actually a 4 blade system. There are the two replacement heads and then the foil has two built into it. One is a curved foil that looks like the other two and then there is one that it flat with curved guide slots.

They have 2 blades. I have 3 of them. 2 blades are best.. 3 tend to get bogged down. I have never seen just 1 blade.

No, they are easy to replace but not able to just run on 2 or 4 blades. It would cause the machine to be off balanced.

You would have to buy the blades that you want to use at about $15.00 each. However, changing blades is very easy, unlike on some cheaper models. On the Oster they snap in and out without a problem.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.
