Spiral Cutterhead for Hitachi F1000A Electric Planer Jointer with 40 Carbide Inserts
Woodworkers are now upgrading their old planers and jointers with spiral cutter heads to experience the following benefits:
* Smoother Finish: The angled positioning of each knife creates a shear cut and the spiral design eliminates tear-out for a glossy surface on even hardwoods.
* Reduced Noise: The spiral design allows for a few knives to cut in a staggered manner, resulting in significantly reduced noise.
* Increased Durability: The sintered tungsten carbide inserts have a lifespan over 10 times longer than high-speed steel.
* Easy Knife Replacement: The precision-ground knives can be easily switched out in minutes, with four usable edges per insert.
* Improved Dust Extraction: The spiral design produces thinner and shorter chips, making dust extraction easier.
* Cost-Effective: The smooth finish and reduced sanding requirements will quickly pay for the cost of the spiral cutter head.
Installation of the carbide inserts into the cutter block takes about 30 minutes, but once installed, the spiral cutter head can handle the same thickness as the original HSS blade cutter head.

Spiral Cutterhead for Hitachi F1000A Planer Jointer with 40 Carbide Inserts
I purchased a spiral cutterhead for the planer portion of my Hitachi F1000a planer/jointer. The difference between HSS and the spiral carbide cutterhead is really something. Very smooth results on even highly figured walnut. The F1000a has always been a noisy machine, but there is a noticeable drop in volume using the spiral cutterhead. That was a nice little bonus. I liked the results so much I asked Mike with Sheartak if he could make a cutterhead for the jointer portion of my machine…and he agreed! I can’t wait to get that cutterhead on to complete my machine. I’m also looking forward to not having to sharpen blades all the time! If you do much woodworking, you really can’t beat this upgrade.

The cutter upgrade made a great machine even better and surprisingly easy to install if you don't remove all the stuff shown in the video on the jointer side. The only things from that side of the machine that need to be removed are the belt and belt guard. The old shaft should be removed fully assembled and the new shaft installed fully assembled. I should have installed it long ago I see now, just finished a ton of maple work that started with lots of rough bandsaw cut wood, the new cutter would have saved me a ton of sanding. The quality of the cutter is very good. This is a great upgrade I would recommend to any F1000a owner.

. I ran some curly maple through it, and it works perfectly, so I'm super happy with it!
Thanks kindly Mike- great product and service!
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.
