The Oliver Sidney 16" jointers Model 166 were made in the 1930's are absolute gems. Fewer new large equipment can close to the solid feet of the heavy-duty iron that is unmatched by contemporary models. However, its original cutterhead with only 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.
* 144 carbide inserts are installed.
* 5 extra carbide inserts & 5 extra screws free as spare parts.
* 1 Wrench
