Upgrade your Laguna PX|12 Benchtop planer by switching to spiral cutterheads for a variety of benefits.
Here are some advantages you can expect:
- Achieve a higher quality finish without any tear-out. The inserts on the cutterhead are angled along the helix in a staggered way, allowing for shear-cut effects on even the most complex hardwood.
- Enjoy a significant reduction in noise as the spiral cutterhead maintains constant contact with the board with only a few knives.
- Benefit from solid tungsten carbide cutters that are much harder and stay sharper for longer than high-speed steel blades. If one edge is chipped or dull, simply rotate it 90° for a fresh, sharp edge. Each insert has four cutting edges and can be used four times.
- Experience an easy setup process. The indexable carbide inserts are precisely ground to a tight tolerance and can be interchanged. Loosen the screws, rotate 90°, and tighten the inserts in minutes. The inserts can be accurately positioned using the taper hole-style locking.
- Remove shorter and thinner materials with smaller carbide inserts, making dust extraction much easier.
- Save money in the long term as spiral cutterheads are cheaper to use and can pay for themselves in a short amount of time.
The Spiral Cutterhead Kit includes:
- A high-tensile-strength alloy steel cutter block.
- 40 carbide inserts for installation.
- A pair of Japan-sealed bearings.
- 5 extra carbide inserts and screws as spare parts.
- 1 wrench.
The cutting circle of this spiral cutter head is a bit smaller than that of the original cutter head. The cutter head assembly comes with all the knives installed and can narrowly go through the housing bore for the bigger bearing. Changeover of this version is easier than that of the one with OEM version. The drawback is that the smaller diameter limits the maximum depth to 1/16" per pass. If the cut is heavy, more pressure will be on the rollers and it may flex the table. We recommend this type for hobbyists who are okay with light cuts and don't mind more passes.
