Helical cutter heads - tools for chair and table manufacturers

Reading time: 2 min.

Wooden chair and table manufacturers, processing solid wood, are looking for tools that will allow them to use the capabilities of their machines to their maximum capacity, thus improving their daily work. Which tool will be essential for chair and table production?

One machine that greatly improves the production process of wooden furniture is the linear copying milling machine. Linear milling machines are very efficient machines, but they need to be equipped with the right tools, namely the so-called helical cutter heads.

Spiral tine arrangement in the Cutter Heads - why choose them?

Helical cutter heads are cutting tools with multiple segments of blades, arranged in a straight or full helical fashion. We offer both solutions, but the best results are obtained when working with Cutter Heads with teeth arranged in a full helix. This arrangement of teeth ensures smooth machining and excellent surface finish of the workpiece. This arrangement of teeth also has an impact on tool life.

The teeth on helical cutter heads can be either straight or fitted with a chipbreaker - especially when large surplus material needs to be milled. The chipbreaker helps to grind the chip so that it can be discharged more easily. Sometimes an intermediate solution is also used - a straight tooth equipped with a chipbreaker is alternately placed on one Cutter Head.

Types of helical Cutter Heads

The body is also important in helical cutter heads. Cutter heads of this type are currently available in two variants. There can be a 'solid' steel body cutter head and a hollow body cutter head, commonly referred to as the 'light' version. Cutter heads of this type put less strain on the shaft and bearings of the machine and run much quieter than standard heads.
