Upgrade your Canwood 16" Planer with Sheartak spiral cutterhead with the following advantageous features:
Enhanced Surface Quality: The spiral cutter head offers a significant improvement in finish quality by eliminating tear-out. Each knife is positioned at a slight angle, resulting in a shear cut. The staggered arrangement of the blades allows for a superior planing action compared to a single straight cut. Consequently, even highly figured hardwood surfaces exhibit a glossy, tear-free finish.
Reduced Noise: The spiral cutter head design effectively decreases noise levels. By enabling a few knives to cut in a staggered manner, the overall noise produced during planing is greatly reduced.
Extended Blade Lifespan: Utilizing sintered tungsten carbide inserts measuring 15x15x2.5mm, the spiral cutter head offers over 10 times the lifespan of high-speed steel blades. These inserts, known for their exceptional hardness, provide four cutting edges each.
Easy Replacement: Changing the blades is a straightforward process. The precision-ground knives adhere to a tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm and are interchangeable. With a simple loosening of the screw, rotating the blade 90° presents a fresh cutting edge, which can be secured within minutes.
Improved Dust Extraction: The spiral cutter head generates thinner and shorter chips during the planing process. As a result, extracting and managing the resulting sawdust and debris becomes more efficient.
Cost-Effective Operation: The use of a spiral cutter head yields multiple cost-saving benefits. It not only delivers a smooth finish that reduces or eliminates the need for extensive sanding but also eliminates the necessity for sharpening. These advantages contribute to a swift return on investment, making the product financially advantageous in a short period of time.
Kit includes:

Do I need to replace the original bearings?
If the bearings in your machine are in good condition, they can be reused by carefully removing them with a bearing or pulley puller. However, if the bearings are tightly pressed onto the shaft, removal may cause damage. To minimize this risk, we recommend replacing old bearings with our greased and sealed bearings, designed for long-lasting performance. For a smooth upgrade, we suggest adding the bearings to your shopping cart before completing your purchase.
We provide premium bearings from NSK, SKF, NTN, FAG, Timken. They are renowned for their high quality and performance, designed to provide durability and reliability in various applications
If you add the bearings to your order, we will preinstall them for you when premounting is possible, saving you the hassle of doing it yourself.
Do I need to to Add a Few Boxes of Carbide Inserts
We provide 5 carbide inserts and 5 screws as spare parts. However, many of our customers choose to purchase additional boxes, as the shipping costs for separate purchases can make it less economical.
Do I need a Torque Wrench?
To securely lock the carbide inserts, we recommend applying a torque of 48 to 52 Pound-Inches (or 5.42 to 5.88 Newton-Meters). (Note: 1 Newton-Meter is equal to 8.851 Pound-Inches, and 1 Pound-Inch is approximately 0.113 Newton-Meters.) It is crucial not to apply excessive torque, as this could cause the carbide inserts to crack or explode. On the other hand, using too little torque may result in the inserts not being properly secured, which could lead to cracks, shattering, or uneven height on the cutter block, causing ridges or lines on the board.
If one person is responsible for maintaining the machine, they can typically apply the same torque consistently without a torque wrench. However, when multiple people are involved in machine maintenance, ensuring uniform torque application can be challenging. For consistency and peace of mind, we recommend using a torque wrench.
What kind of steel the cutter block is made of?
The cutter block is constructed using GB/T 40Cr, a structural alloy steel of the same caliber as ASTM grade 5140, AISI 5140, SAE 5140, DIN 41Cr4, BS 41Cr4, JIS SCr440, and EN 41Cr4.The primary components of this steel are as follows: carbon (C) at a range of 0.37-0.44%, silicon (Si) between 0.17-0.37%, manganese (Mn) within 0.50-0.80%, and chromium (Cr) from 0.80-1.10%.
In terms of physical properties, this steel exhibits a tensile strength range of 115-234σb/MPa, a yield strength of 2σ 0.2 ≥/MPa, and an elongation capacity of 65 δ5≥ (%). It also has a HBS range of 123-321 and a HRC rating of 30.
This alloy steel is frequently utilized in low to moderately stressed components for machines, engines, and vehicles.
