Conventional Hydro Cutterheads

Self made cutter heads with undefeatable precision

We produce all of our cutters in steel or aluminum and manage to produce cutter heads up to ø425 mm.

We prefer to deliver the cutter heads with knives mounted and grinded from our factory. The cutter heads are ready and can be mounted in the planing machine directly. To get the best cutting surface and longest life time we recommend our Kanefusa ST1 knives.  The cutter heads can be produced in either steel or aluminum of highest quality.

They are also equipped with conical pressure wedges, to further lock through rotation by help of the centrifugal forces.

• The cutter is made of steel with either flat or back corrugated knife or in aluminium for only back corrugated knives.
• Absolute best tolerances in centre hole and balancing provide optimum service life of the machine spindle.
• The tools are equipped with conical pressure wedges, which lock the knives further during rotation with the help of the centrifugal force.
• The double hydro sleeves with double seal prevent pressure drops and ensure the lock-up of the machine spindle.

LIGHT WEIGHT CUTTER HEADS IN ALUMINIUM

There are many advantages with cutter heads in aluminum.

• The weight is more than 50% less compared to steel.
• The light weight is helpful for the operators to avoid injuries by handling them.
• It is better for the spindles and bearings in the machines.
• We always use serrated knives which makes the positioning of the knifes much easier and safer.
• If you use serrated knives the number of screws for fixing is reduced. The positioning is much faster.

Tightning torques:

• Regular knives 25 Nm (M10 screw) or 40 Nm (M12 screw) in steel body
• Serrated knives (4 mm) 25 Nm (M10 or M12 screw) in steel or aluminum body
• Release nippel (M10x1) close at 2 Nm. If nippel has to be changed tighten at 12-14 Nm.
