One thing that makes spiral cutters popular is the extended use you get from not having to replace the cutters as often as you do with blades. For instance, when a blade becomes nicked, you have to replace the entire blade. However, if a cutter insert becomes nicked, you replace only the nicked insert, and not the undamaged ones.
Spiral cutter heads utilize carbide reverisble knives , while most knife-based cutter heads incorporate knives made of high speed steel. Carbide blades normally holds an edge for at least ten times as long as high speed steel, and much longer than that in many cases. Plus, the carbide insert cutters for spiral cutter heads normally have four cutting edges on each one, so if one gets dull it can simply be rotated to use and save time.
Easy to change. The carbide inserts are precision ground to a tolerance of +/-0.01mm and are interchangeable. Loosen the screw, rotate 90° for a new edge, tighten the insert in minutes. It cuts your production time by 30%.
Reversible inserts are made of carbide, the likelihood of getting nicks in the cutters goes way down in the first place.Spiral cutterheads produce a smoother finish, reduce or eliminate sanding work, don’t require sharpening, your products will pay for itself in a very short time.
Spiral cutterhead produces thinner and shorter chips. The smaller cutters on spiral cutter heads break the material into smaller pieces, so slightly less suction is required to extract the waste back to a central system.
Lower noise.The noise value generated by contacting the wood surface per unit time is about 30 to 50dB less than that generated by a flat blade when contacting the wood surface in the same time.
