Hardwood silent power: Spiral cutter block

The planer thicknesser can also be equipped with an optional spiral cutter block, designed for a smoother and quieter woodworking experience. This innovative cutter block features a series of small, rectangular knives arranged in a spiral pattern, ensuring that each knife works incrementally for a fluent and efficient cutting process. The result is a significant reduction in noise and a finer finish on hardwoods. However, the spiral cutter block is not recommended for softwoods like pine, due to two key factors: Resin Content: Softwoods tend to have higher resin levels, which can clog and affect the cutter block’s performance. Fibrous Texture: The fibrous nature of softwoods like pine can lead to tearing or fuzzing, reducing the overall finish quality. For those primarily working with hardwoods, the spiral cutter block is an excellent upgrade, offering enhanced performance and a superior finish.
