The CRAFTEX CXHEL15 Helical Cutterhead upgrades compatible 15" thickness planers with 75 replaceable carbide inserts arranged in four rows for smoother cutting performance and easier insert replacement. Read Less
Designed as an upgrade for compatible 15" straight-knife thickness planers, the CXHEL15 replaces the conventional cutterhead with a helical-style design using individual carbide inserts. Four rows of cutters hold a total of 75 carbide inserts, helping produce a smooth finish across the full 15" cutting width.
Unlike traditional straight knives, the replaceable insert design allows individual worn or damaged cutters to be serviced without replacing a full knife set. The CXHEL15 uses CRAFTEX CXHCINS replacement inserts measuring 15 x 15 x 2.5 mm.
Compatibility is model-specific, so the planer model should be confirmed against the list below before ordering.
