Cutterhead Inserts
The carbide inserts are very sharp and
can quickly cut your hands. ALWAYS
use caution and heavy leather gloves
when handling these parts to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
The helical cutterhead is equipped with indexable carbide
inserts that can be rotated to reveal any one of its four
cutting edges. If one edge of the insert becomes dull or
damaged, simply rotate it 90 ˚ to reveal a fresh cutting
edge.
