Do You Know the Structure of Heavy Duty Spiral Cutterhead?

Nowadays, woodworking spiral cutter heads have become a trend to replace ordinary flat planer cutter heads. In the market, there are three different styles of cutter heads, namely light-cut spiral cutter head, bevel-cut spiral cutter head, and heavy-cut spiral cutter head. I have already introduced you to a lot of knowledge about light-cut spiral cutter heads, so today I will focus on our heavy duty spiral cutterhead.

Insert cutting knives material: Adopted cemented carbide reversible knives, the specification is 30×12×2.0mm, durable and the assembly method without high-temperature welding ensures that the hardness of each blade is above HRA92.5. Each square reversible blade has 4 cutting edges. If you wear out an edge, you can rotate the cutting square 90° for a new edge.
