Quick Change Cutterhead

The new quick change cutterhead for Model 225 Planer increases productivity by greatly reducing costly down time. This new cutterhead design is precision manufactured to allow the knives to be replaced accurately in minutes! Once the knives are in place, adjustments to the infeed and outfeed rollers, the chip breaker, and the pressure bar are not necessary.

To extend the life of the knives, they have two cutting edges. The knives are also impregnated with 18% Tungsten which has proven to increase the life by up to 30%. Reports indicate that 40-60,000 lineal feet per edge is obtainable when planing hardwoods. The design also significantly reduces the noise level of the planer.
