Cutter Head Comparison

Feature
Straight Blade
Standard Spiral
Helical Spiral
Cut Quality
Standard
For basic woodworking projects, struggles on hard woods. Results in tear-outs and snipes.
Good
Delivers cleaner cuts than straight blades but tear-outs & snipes remain due to blade angle.
Exceptional
Virtually no tear-out or snipes. Perfect for fine woodworking, handles the toughest woods.
Surface Finish
Basic surface finish. Requires extra sanding and finishing for professional results.
Good surface finish but still needs extra sanding due to perpendicular blade to wood contact.
Premium surface finish requiring minimal to no sanding. Ready for staining or finishing immediately.
Noise Level
High
85-95 dB operation. Requires hearing protection and can disturb neighbors during use.
Medium
75-85 dB operation. More comfortable but for extended use requires hearing protection.
Low
65-75 dB operation. Significantly quieter operation ideal for residential workshops and professional health safety workplaces.
Tear-out Reduction
Limited
Prone to tear-out, especially on cross-grain cuts and figured woods. Requires careful feed rates.
Good
Reduced tear-out compared to straight blades. Struggles on difficult grain patterns and woods.
Excellent
Virtually eliminates tear-out on all wood types. Helical design provides shearing cut action due to precise blade to wood contact angles.
Blade Life
Standard
Short lifespan and requires complete blade replacement when dull or after a single nick from a hidden nail or screw.
Extended
Extended lifespan due to multiple edges but weaker blade material and harsher contact angle shortens its lifespan.
Maximum
Extreme lifespan. Angle of blade contact reduces collision and stronger carbide individual carbide inserts can be rotated or replaced as needed.
Maintenance
High
Frequent sharpening required. Complete blade removal and replacement becomes a common hassle.
Medium
Easier replacement as individual blades can be changes as needed.
Low
Individual carbide inserts can be rotated in seconds. Easily switch cutting edge or replace individuals blades as needed.
Cost Efficiency
Basic
Long-term higher costs and effort outweighs any initial saving.
Poor
Extra investment doesn't provide enough benefit to merit cost.
Superior
Best ROI by far. Higher upfront cost but lowest cost over time.

FAQ

Helical, Spiral, Straight Edge... Explain?

We get it, it can be confusing with so many types out there. Helical spiral cutterheads are advanced cutting tools designed for woodworking machines. They consist of multiple rows of angled cutting inserts arranged in a spiral pattern. This design allows for a smoother cutting action, resulting in superior finish quality and reduced noise during operation. The helical configuration also distributes cutting forces more evenly, enhancing the durability of the cutterhead.

What advantages do helical spiral cutterheads offer over traditional blades?

Helical spiral cutterheads provide several advantages over traditional straight blades. These include improved cutting precision, reduced noise levels by up to 50%, and longer lifespan due to less wear and tear. Additionally, they require less frequent sharpening, which minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.

Are your cutterheads compatible with all woodworking machines?

While our helical spiral cutterheads are designed to fit a wide range of woodworking machines, compatibility may vary based on the specific model and manufacturer. It is advisable to check the specifications of your machine or consult with our customer service team to ensure proper fitment. We list all compatible machines on each cutter head page, and if you can't find the one you need just let us know and we'll custom build one just for you!

Got this for my DW733 after seeing a YouTube review. Definitely an upgrade - surfaces come out smoother and less sanding needed.

Solid upgrade

Replaced the stock blades on my DW734 with this helical head. Took some patience to install, but results are absolutely worth it. Feels more professional now.

Smooth as butter!

Slotted right into my DW734 without any fiddling or weird hacks. The finish it leaves is incredible feels sanded straight off the planer. Customer service was super helpful too when I had a couple questions.
