Retrofit your 15-inch planer today with a spiral cutterhead for the following benefits.
- Better quality finish with no tear-out. All the inserts are angled along the spiral in a staggered pattern and create a shear-cut effect on even highly figured hardwood.
- Noise is hugely reduced as only a few carbide knives keep constant contact with the board instead of slamming into it periodically like a straight edge knife might.
- All the cutters are made of solid tungsten carbide which is much harder and stays sharp longer than high speed steel. If one edge chips or dulls, rotate it 90 for a new sharp edge. Each insert has four cutting edges and can be used four times.
- The carbide inserts are very easy to set up. They are precision ground to a very tight tolerance and are interchangeable. Loosen the screw, rotate the insert 90, and tighten in minutes. The inserts can be precisely positioned using the taper hole style locking feature.
- A spiral cutterhead results in smaller and shorter woodchips which make dust extraction much easier.
- In the long term, spiral cutterheads pay for themselves and save you both time and money.
