Rebate cutters

In carpentry and furniture production, to connect various parts, it is often necessary to cut a quarter or fold along the end of the workpiece. The quarter differs only in size - its depth and width are the same and equal to half the thickness of the board or wood board. In enterprises with a large volume of work on making grooves in workpieces, a manual milling cutter or milling machine and a special cutting tool - a rebate cutter are used. The use of such cutters allows you to select grooves as quickly, accurately and efficiently as possible, obtaining a perfectly flat and neat surface. You can purchase rebate cutters for wood quickly, conveniently and profitably in the Stancomplect online store.

Types of rebate cutters for wood

To remove quarters from wooden blanks using a router or milling machine, different types of cutters are used:

• single-sided and double-sided - with knife sharpening on one or both sides;
• with a lower bearing or thrust bushing - these elements limit the depth of material sampling and allow you to make a recess in the workpiece with maximum accuracy. The most common are rebate cutters with a bearing at the bottom. They are the ones presented in the catalog of our online store;
• with a replaceable bearing - sets of bearings of different diameters are sold for such cutters. If it is necessary to make folds of different depths, there is no need to change the cutting tool - just install a bearing of a different diameter. This is the most economical option, since a set of bearings costs less than the same number of cutters;
• with two, three and four cutting edges (knives);
• monolithic and with replaceable knives, when dull blades can be removed and turned over to the other side or sharpened, which extends the service life of the tool;
• with different angles of inclination of knives and sizes of the cutting part, which determine the parameters for removing the groove.

The rebate cutter is usually made from medium-alloy tool steels, which ensure the tool's resistance to deformation and abrasive wear.

Area of application for rebate cutters

Milling cutters designed for cutting quarters from the ends of wooden blanks are used for the following purposes:

1. Removing part of the material by half its thickness to overlap parts;
2. Manufacturing of tongue and groove boards;
3. Cutting tenons and grooves for connecting tongue-and-groove parts.

Such work may be in demand in various industries that use wood or wood-based products, including:

• furniture production, where quarter sampling is often done in the manufacture of cabinet furniture - for fastening the back wall, making drawers and doors with a recessed front panel and other works;
• construction and production of building materials - here rebate cutters are used for the manufacture of wooden windows, door and window openings, cladding panels, flooring;
• production of decorative items and souvenirs - boxes, picture frames and other decorative elements.

Features of choosing a rebate cutter for wood

To choose the right rebate cutter, you must first determine the material you are going to process with it. For hardwood or chipboard, it is better to choose a tool made from HM carbide steel; for softer materials, a milling cutter made of high-speed steel HSS with a hardness of 62-65 HRC or another grade is suitable. For work at home, a cutting tool for a manual milling cutter is usually used, and for production - a milling cutter for a machine.

When choosing a cutter that can be used to remove a quarter or make a fold, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

• the length (height) of the cutting part - the maximum width of the notch depends on it;
• diameter of the cutting part and bearing - the difference between these parameters allows you to determine the maximum possible sampling depth of the material;
• shank diameter - if it does not match the size of the hole in the collet chuck of your router or milling machine, you will have to buy an adapter, and this is an additional financial cost;
• the angle of inclination of the knives - the larger it is, the better the surface of the sample will be and the lower the risk of chipping, especially when working with chipboard.

An important criterion for choosing a cutting tool for a manual router or milling machine is the brand of the cutter. Well-known manufacturers, whose products are in demand in the global market, pay special attention to the quality of their products in order to maintain a high brand reputation.
