Spiral cutterheads revolutionise your woodwork! Although the cut depth per pass may be less than equivalent standard cutterheads, they will offer significantly quieter running, quieter cutting, less chatter and tear out in curly or highly figured wood along with a far superior overall finish, requiring far less finish sanding. These cutterheads will save hours of clean up work after dressing timber. The four-sided knives, which can be turned to offer a new cutting edge in seconds are fine grain tungsten carbide and are held in place by a Torx style screw. Knives of this type last 3 to 5 times longer than good quality HSS knives. Multiply this by four cutting edges and you achieve 12 to 20 times normal blade life. They are easily turned and seated to present a fully sharpened and indexed cutting edge, no complex blade setting or jigs required, you only have to replace a knife when all four edges have been used.
Using this style of cutterhead also reduces the size of the shavings produced when cutting, thereby increasing the effectiveness of your dust collection setup.
Perfect addition to any workshop. The extra bed length in this machine makes it as accurate and true without being too big when your cramped for space. The powerful motor, enclosed cabinet, 4" dust chute, integral mobile base, centre-mounted heavy-duty fence, segmented spiral cutterhead and paddle style stop switch make this a well equipped machine for most planing jobs. The unit is also fitted with the superior parallelogram table adjustment system. This system produces less chipping as the tables follow the arc of the cutterblock when raising or lowering the table. It also makes for more positive adjustment and there is no slack as found with ordinary screw type adjustment wheels.
