Spiral Cutterhead for Sherword Planer Thicknesser Model PT260 with 55 Carbide Inserts
Woodworkers are currently upgrading their old planers and jointers by retrofitting them with spiral cutterheads, which offer numerous benefits:
• A smoother finish with no tear-out: The spiral cutterhead's knives are slightly angled, producing a shear cut that is much better than a single straight cut. Additionally, the spiral cutterhead planes boards in a staggered pattern, which eliminates tear-out and results in a glossy surface finish on even highly figured hardwood.
• Reduced noise: The spiral cutterhead's staggered knives greatly reduce noise compared to traditional straight knives.
• Longer lifespan: The spiral cutterhead's inserts, which are made of sintered tungsten carbide, are much harder than high-speed steel and can last over 10 times longer. Each insert has four edges, and they are easy to replace.
• Easy to change: The knives are interchangeable and have a precision tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm. Simply loosen the screw, rotate the knife 90° for a new edge, and tighten the insert in minutes.
• Improved dust extraction: The spiral cutterhead produces thinner and shorter chips, making dust extraction easier.
• Low cost: By producing a smoother finish and reducing or eliminating the need for sanding and sharpening, the spiral cutterhead pays for itself in a short amount of time.
