Re: Source for custom knives for 40 mm Felder safety cutter
|
Imran,
Felder does not make the cutter head. They just rebranded the cutter head from other German or Swiss companies.
I am 100% sure the 50mm cutter can be used in the 40 mm cutter head because they have the same pin patterns.
I have the following 50 mm cutter head accepting both 40mm and 50mm knives. And will accept whitehill's 55mm knives too.

I kicked myself for buying Felder 40 mm block because I learned later that Felder 50 mm block can accommodate both 40 mm and 50 mm knives. The website still says, ¡°Universal milling cutter made of steel for 40 mm and 50 mm profile knives¡±
Felder site does not say 50 mm knives can¡¯t be used in 40 mm block, rather it says ¡°suitable for 40 mm knives¡±. Somehow I made the conclusion that I can¡¯t use 50 mm knives in my 40 mm block.

I understand that I am talking about 50 mm not 55 mm, maybe that makes a difference.
Any how, good to know that I can use 55 mm knives from Whitehill in my 40 mm Felder block and now wonder if it will also take Felder 50 mm knives.
?
Yes, now I understand why 40mm euro?knives?do not work on whitehill's 125 x 55 cutter heads.

The pin spacing and diameter are the same, and the knife will?technically fit in the heads, but too much is buried inside the head.? Those 40mm "three holers" are designed for the smaller "euroblocks".
