Sheartak Spiral Cutterhead for Oliver 16" Jointer Model 166, Year 1919

 This Olive 16" jointer Model 166 was manufactured in 1919 and boasts of heavy-duty construction that is unmatched by contemporary models. However, its original clampshell cutterhead with only two HSS blades tends to hammer wood like a drum, generating excessive noise and causing the blades to dull quickly.

Fortunately, you can retrofit this century-old machine with a Sheartak spiral cutterhead and transform it into a high-quality machine. Here are the benefits you stand to enjoy:

* Improved finish quality with no tear-out. The helical inserts are angled in a staggered manner, resulting in a shear-cut effect on even highly figured hardwood.

* Significant noise reduction as the spiral cutterhead maintains constant contact with the board using only a few knives.

Solid tungsten carbide cutters that are much harder and retain sharpness for longer compared to high-speed steel blades. You can rotate a dull or chipped edge 90° to obtain a new, sharp edge. Each insert has four cutting edges, which means you can use it four times.

* Easy setup using precision-ground indexable carbide inserts that can be interchanged. Loosen the screws, rotate 90°, and tighten the inserts in minutes. The inserts can be precisely positioned using the taper hole style locking mechanism.

Smaller carbide inserts that remove shorter and thinner materials, making dust extraction much easier.

* Spiral cutterheads are cheaper to use in the long run and can pay for themselves in a short period.

* Upgrade your jointer to the Sheartak spiral cutterhead and enjoy a high-quality finish, reduced noise levels, and significant cost savings in the long run. 

 Spiral Cutterhead Kit includes:

* High tensile strength alloy steel cutter block.

* 128 carbide inserts are installed.

* 5 extra carbide inserts & 5 extra screws free as spare parts.

 * 1 Wrench
