Tool News/ Helical Cutter Heads
The buzz for home jointer and planer owners is
the helical or spiral cutter heads.
A true "spiral" blade cutterhead uses a curved
HSS blade. Instead of slamming the blade
straight into the wood the blade engages only a
small section at a time as it turns, "slicing" the
wood off. This allows it to deal with wild grain
with little to no tearout.
A helical head imitates this action with a series
of small cutterheads arranged in a spiral pattern.
Each cutter is rotated slightly, so that one corner
hits the wood first, then the rest of the cutter
shears off wood as it moves forward, mimicking
the shearing motion of the spiral blade.
