Tête de coupe en spirale pour raboteuse WOODMASTER 18" avec 120 couteaux en carbure
Améliorez les performances de votre raboteuse/moulurière Woodmaster 18" modèle 718 avec la tête de coupe hélicoïdale Sheartak. Équipée de 120 plaquettes en carbure aux bords incurvés, ces plaquettes sont stratégiquement disposées le long de rainures hélicoïdales en biais, assurant une coupe véritablement par cisaillement. Cette amélioration transformera votre raboteuse, offrant des coupes plus lisses et des résultats supérieurs tout en réduisant plus efficacement l'arrachement que les têtes de coupe à couteaux droits traditionnels ou d'autres alternatives hélicoïdales et spirales.
La tête de coupe hélicoïdale Sheartak offre une finition exceptionnelle, même sur les bois très figurés et difficiles. Ses plaquettes en carbure indexables sont plus résistantes aux entailles et aux fissures que les couteaux HSS standard. Si une plaquette devient émoussée ou endommagée, il suffit de la faire pivoter pour exposer un nouveau bord tranchant, sans avoir besoin de retirer ou d'affûter les lames, ce qui prend du temps. Lorsque tous les bords d'une plaquette sont usés, les remplacer est rapide et facile avec quelques tours de clé Torx, réduisant considérablement les temps d'arrêt.
Contrairement aux couteaux droits traditionnels qui entrent en contact complet avec le matériau à chaque rotation, augmentant le bruit de l'atelier, les plaquettes en carbure étagées de la tête de coupe hélicoïdale Sheartak garantissent qu'une ou deux plaquettes seulement entrent en contact avec le bois à un moment donné. Il en résulte un fonctionnement plus silencieux et un environnement de travail plus agréable.
La tête de coupe hélicoïdale Sheartak s'adapte parfaitement à vos arbres d'origine, et l'installation est simple. De plus, elle est livrée avec une garantie d'un an à compter de la date d'achat.

I purchased the 18” cutterhead for my Woodmaster model 718 planer and am totally satisfied with the performance and quality of the head. I am a machinist by trade and recognize quality when i see it. The new head is extremely quieter than the conventional straight knife design. Installation went well.Thanks for a well made piece.

Met Expectations!!! If you own a Woodmaster planer read all through the review
Buy the SHEARTAK for Woodmaster machines!!!
I have been using the Woodmaster S2 spiral/helical head for 4 years. It has annoyed me for 4 years and Woodmaster said it is normal to have equidistant raised lines across a board that has been planed to thickness. IT IS NOT NORMAL.
On a Youtube video and on FB I learned of SHEARTAK. I heard from people who use the SHEARTAK cutter head and do not have residual raised lines across the entire board. So I decided to give it a try. My goal was to only need 2 grits of sandpaper in most cases to finish instead of 4 separate grits which is common with the Woodmaster cutterhead.
I have tested the SHEARTAK head for 2 weeks now. I want to say "It is not perfect," but it is 90% better than my S2 head. Visually there are no lines.. I am pleased with the result. I cannot see lines like I could with the S2 but I can sometimes feel a very slight raised sequence of lines. However, they are not always present to feel which is puzzling and I have yet to analyze and come to a conclusion as to the cause. In most cases 150--220 grit will accomplish what I want before applying a finish because there are no visible raised lines. This is a huge improvement over needing to start with 80 grit then 120 before moving to final sanding to smooth out the surface caused by the Woodmaster S2 head.
My encouragement to fellow Woodmaster users who have the problem I have been faced with for 4 years: "DO NOT hesitate to purchase a Sheartak cutter head for any Woodmaster machine if you are tired of lines on your boards." "If you are going to go from the 3 blade planer head to a spiral/helical head look at Sheartak before looking at the Woodmaster brand unless you want a 50% chance of being annoyed because you do not get a "Satin finish" which is the claim of Woodmaster.
Lastly and importantly I want to compliment the people at SHEARTAK. I was concerned with getting this across into the US because of politics. I was assured it would get to me but to expect a hold up at the border. My new cutter head was promptly shipped, made it through customs, arrived in good shape because it was well packed and most fit exactly in my 718. No surprises in the transaction. I am glad I came across this company.

Spiral Cutterhead for WOODMASTER 718 Planer
Just installed on my woodmaster and all I can say is WOW, what a huge upgrade from the straight blade cutter head.\r\nSo much quieter and the finish is extremely smooth. Wish I had upgrade years ago
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
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.
