Planer thicknessers with spiral cutterhead

Technical Advantages of the Spiral Cutterhead

• Extreme noise reduction – thanks to the angled and sequential entry of the cutters into the material, spiral cutterhead technology greatly minimises the impact of blades on wood. The result is up to a 50% reduction in noise levels, improving workshop comfort and compliance with safety standards.
• Maximum cutter durability – carbide inserts offer exceptional hardness and wear resistance, ensuring far longer service life than traditional HSS blades. When dull, each insert can simply be rotated by 90°, extending the time between replacements.
• Perfect surface finish – the spiral layout of the knives minimises the risk of fibre tear-out when machining knotty or irregular-grain wood. The processed surface is exceptionally smooth, reducing the need for time-consuming sanding.
• Efficient chip removal – the unique cutting action produces shorter chips that are easier to extract, preventing clogging and ensuring smoother operation of both the planer thicknesser and the thicknessing unit itself.
