Re: ideas for changing the carbide inserts on silent power cutterblock #spiralcutterhead

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My dual51 has tersa head but for your mentioned concern, I have been jointing on front (near operator) of cutterhead and try to plane most often on the back. This may actually wear the feeding mechanism unevenly so I am not sure if I should continue this practice.

Subject: [FOG] ideas for changing the carbide inserts on silent power cutterblock #spiralcutterhead

?

Hi, having used my Dual51for about 12 months just recently, I noticed the carbide inserts need attention.
The closest half of the cutter block has worn faster than the back half (as I find it difficult to reach all the way back for jointing boards).
The inserts still do a very reasonable job cutting, but they have worn down.? I can just feel the end of the board hitting the leading edge of the outfeed table so I know it needs attention. And... It doesn't happen when I use the back half of the cutter block
My assumption for best practice would be to rotate all the inserts at once.? I'm wondering if swapping the front half with the back half (and keep using the same edge) to prolong their life might be a good idea?
