Upgrade your Jet JWP-13DX 13" Thickness Planer with the Spiral Cutterhead to experience enhanced performance, noise reduction, extended blade life, ease of use, efficient dust extraction, and long-term cost savings. This upgrade offers a range of advantages over traditional cutter heads:
Enhanced Surface Finish: The spiral cutterhead employs a unique design where each knife sits at a slight angle, resulting in a shear cut. This staggered cutting action, as opposed to a single straight cut, delivers a superior planing experience. The combined shear and staggered cut effectively eliminates tear-out and imparts a glossy surface finish, even on highly figured hardwood.
Reduced Noise: Thanks to the spiral arrangement, the cutterhead allows only a few knives to cut at any given time. This design significantly reduces noise levels compared to conventional cutter heads.
Extended Lifespan: The 15x15x2.5mm inserts utilized in the spiral cutterhead are constructed from sintered tungsten carbide, a material much harder than high-speed steel. As a result, these inserts provide more than ten times the lifespan of traditional blades. With four edges per insert, the cutterhead ensures durability and longevity.
Convenient and Quick Replacement: Swapping out knives is a breeze with the precision-ground blades, manufactured with a tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm. The interchangeable nature of these knives allows for easy changes. Simply loosen the screw, rotate the blade 90° for a fresh edge, and secure the insert within minutes.
Improved Dust Extraction: The spiral cutterhead generates thinner and shorter chips during operation, making dust extraction more efficient. This feature contributes to cleaner and healthier work environments.
Cost-Effective Solution: With the spiral cutterhead, woodworkers can achieve a smooth finish that reduces or eliminates the need for extensive sanding. Additionally, the inserts do not require sharpening, resulting in significant cost savings over time. The initial investment in the product is quickly recouped through improved efficiency and reduced maintenance expenses.
