Sheartak Spiral Cutterhead for Kity 1647 Planer Thicknesser with 52 carbide inserts

Woodworkers are now equipping their old planers and jointers with spiral cutterheads for various advantages:

* A smoother finish with no tear-out due to the slight angle of each knife, producing a shear cut. The staggered plane of the spiral cutterhead is superior to a single straight cut, and the combined shear and staggered cut eliminate tear-out, resulting in a glossy surface finish on even highly figured hardwood.

* Significantly reduced noise as the spiral cutterhead allows only a few knives to cut in a staggered way.

* More than ten times the lifespan of high-speed steel due to the 15x15x2.5mm inserts made of sintered tungsten carbide, which is much harder. Each insert has four edges.

* Easy interchangeability as the knives are precisely ground to a tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm and can be rotated 90° for a new edge. The insert can be changed within minutes by loosening and tightening the screw.

* Easier dust extraction as the spiral cutterhead produces thinner and shorter chips.

* Low cost to use as spiral cutterheads provide a smoother finish, reduce or eliminate sanding work, and do not require sharpening. The product pays for itself in a concise time.
