20" HELICAL CUTTERHEAD FOR PLANERS

Upgrade a compatible 20" thickness planer with the Craftex CXHEL20 Helical Cutterhead. Designed as an alternative to a conventional straight-knife cutterhead, it uses four rows of replaceable carbide inserts to produce a smooth surface finish across the full 20" cutting width.

The cutterhead is equipped with 100 carbide inserts measuring 15 x 15 x 2.5 mm. Individual inserts can be replaced when required, eliminating the need to replace a full-length planer knife. Replacement inserts are available under part number CXHCINS.
