HELICAL CUTTERHEAD FOR DW735 13" PLANER

The installation process is identical to both CX735SPIRAL and BB735HELICAL, despite their differences.

The BB735HELICAL is a replacement cutter head designed specifically for the DeWalt DW735 planer. Its helical configuration positions multiple carbide inserts around the cutter head to produce clean, consistent cuts across a variety of wood types and grain patterns.

Compared with a conventional straight-knife cutter head, the helical design helps reduce tear-out, vibration, and operating noise while improving the finished surface. This makes it a practical upgrade for woodworkers processing hardwoods, softwoods, figured stock, and other materials with challenging grain.

The BB735HELICAL uses replaceable CXHCINS two-sided carbide inserts measuring 14.3 mm x 14.3 mm x 2 mm. When one cutting edge becomes dull, the insert can be rotated to expose the second edge before replacement is required.

Installation follows the same process used for the CX735SPIRAL cutter head, despite the differences between the two cutter-head designs.

FAQ

Which planer is the BB735HELICAL designed for?

The BB735HELICAL is designed specifically as a replacement cutter head for the DeWalt DW735 planer.

What is the benefit of a helical cutter head?

The helical insert arrangement helps reduce tear-out, noise, and vibration while producing a smoother planed surface than a conventional straight-knife cutter head.

Which replacement inserts does it use?

The BB735HELICAL uses CXHCINS carbide inserts measuring 14.3 mm x 14.3 mm x 2 mm.

Are the inserts reversible?

Yes. Each CXHCINS insert has two cutting edges and can be rotated when the first edge becomes dull.

Can it be used for hardwood and softwood?

Yes. The cutter head is designed for planing hardwoods, softwoods, and stock with challenging grain patterns.

Is the installation different from the CX735SPIRAL?

No. The installation process is identical for the BB735HELICAL and CX735SPIRAL, despite the differences in their cutter-head designs.

Does this cutter head eliminate the need to replace straight planer knives?

Yes. The BB735HELICAL uses individual replaceable carbide inserts rather than conventional straight knives.
