Joe,
The following 40mm #031 profile cutter has cuts below the flat limiter edge.  James
I agree that the proper limiter is better but if you are power feeding it is fine to use the flat limiter. If hand feeding then the proper limiter is a nice safety feature. ?
When talking about the 40mm knives for these particular cutter heads I don’t think any profiles have cuts below the flat limiter edge.? I think all profiles are from the flat limiter and out.
I remember struggling with getting knives and limiters for these cutter heads years ago.? I found that I could get knives from Guhdo or Felder at the time and Guhdo was much faster.? The knives and limiters were not widely available in the US around 2010 that I could find.? The fellow from Guhdo pointed out that I could use the flat limiter with any profile as long as power feeding and that was very helpful. ?
I had several of these cutter heads and would leave them set up, using flat limiters saved money.? I had two cutter heads set up for tongue and groove. ??
You could make the argument that it would be better than nothing, but only if absolutely no part of that straight knife protruded beyond any part of the cutters projection.? Best to have both made for eachother....

You can run whitehill's 55mm knives in those heads too.? Hundreds of profile options in M2 steel and somehow delivered to my place in southern Ontatio in 2-3 days fairly often if in stock.??

Hi Brent,
Is this by ordering from Scott & Sargent?

No, directly from Whitehill.? I got a set of knives from them in 29 hours after notification of shipping!? That's not normal, it's more like 2-3 days as normal for me.? I'm 75mins away from Toronto, so fairly close to a big center which may help.

Yes, that's correct.? You can order through here, this is the tongue and groove section of their web site:

You will have to set up a free account your first time, and then it's all pretty seamless.??

Brent,
Are you saying whitehill's 55mm knives can be used on the cutter head for the standard 40mm Euro knives? Like this one?
Just want to clalifty, because you said the standard 40mm Euro knives does not work on whitehill's 125 x 55 mm cutter head? in the following video?

That's correct, the 55mm knives will work in the Euroblocks (that term is technically reserved for the 40mm limiter blocks) as well as other blocks including the 125x55 limiter/combi heads but the 40mm "euroknives"? knives will not work in the 125x55 blocks as the projection is typically insufficient.

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".

Thanks for the confirmation. This could be a good selling point for whitehill's 55 mm knives. Whitehill never mentioned that on their?website

Yes, now I understand why 40mm euro?knives?do not work on whitehill's 125 x 55 cutter heads.

Imran,
I understand your concern. Hopefully?the shipping fees?from?Whitehill are not as outrageous as Felder's.?
I was told by Felder that the shipping fee is C$75 for the capacitor for my bandsaw from Mississauga to my home, 90 KM away.

This is very interesting. 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.
