Sheartak Spiral cutterhead for MAKITA 12'' Planer 2030N with 70 knives

Description

Woodworkers are now retrofitting spiral cutterheads to their old planers, jointers for the following advantages.
1. Smoother Finish with no tearout. Each knife sits at a slight angle and it produces shear cut. Spirl cutterhead planes board in staggered  cut which is much better than single stright cut. The combined shear and stagged cut eliminates tearout and leaves glassy surface finish on even highly figured hardwood.
2. Noise is 40% reduced as spiral cutterhead only  allowe a few knives to cut in a staggered way.
3. More than 10 times the life use of high speed steel. The 15x15x2.5mm inserts are made of sintered tungsten carbide which is much harder than high speed steel. Each insert has four edges.
4. Easy to change. The knives are precisoin ground to a tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm are interchangeble. Loose the screw, rotate 90° for a new edge, tighten the insert in minutes. It cuts your production time by 30%.
5. Dust extraction is easier. Spiral cutterhead produces thinner and shorter chips.
6. Low cost to use. Spiral cutterheads produce smoother finish, reduce or eliminate sanding work, don't require sharpenning, your products will pay for itself in a very short time.
