Types of planer knives for wood

Knives for woodworking machines are thin (3 mm thick with a width of 30, 35, 40 and 45 mm) and thick (6, 8 and 10 mm with a width of 75-120 mm). Thin ones are made of durable high-quality steel, while thick ones are made of only a part welded on the side of the cutting edge. According to the type of steel used, planer knives for woodworking machines can be divided into the following types:

1. Made from HPS tool steel - they are affordable and hold an edge for a long time.
2. Planers made of high-speed steel HSS - a steel alloy with a high content of tungsten, vanadium, and molybdenum. They can operate at high speeds without compromising processing quality. When working with soft wood, their service life is 7000-8000 linear meters.
3. Carbide-tipped planers, characterized by high wear resistance, which can be used not only for processing solid hardwood, but also panel materials (chipboard, plywood, MDF).
4. Fully carbide planer knives.

This is a reusable tool - after grinding off the cutting edge, they are removed from the machine and sharpened again.

Features of choosing planing knives

Knives for jointing or planer machines are selected for a specific equipment model. When choosing them, you need to consider:

• length and width - they must correspond to the dimensions of the grooves in the knife shaft. You can find out these parameters from the machine’s passport or by measuring;
