Features

  • This DW735 OEM cutterhead is machined slightly larger to give you a cutterhead that is the same size as the one you are removing. You will need to remove the inserts from the cutterhead prior to install, and then replace them after the cutterhead is in place.
  • Staggered, spiral carbide insert configuration provides a shear, rather than straight cut for a smoother finish and quieter operation.
  • Helical insert knife configuration breaks up chips, making dust collection easier.
  • Replace individual inserts when dull or damaged, rather than having to replace an entire expensive knife blade; comes with 5 replacement inserts.
  • Made in the USA!

Description

The ORIGINAL SHEar & heLIX spiral cutter non grind design! Made in the USA by Byrd Tool Corp., these indexable carbide insert cutterheads provide a shear, staggered cut instead of a single, straight knife cut. Not only does this provide a superior finish on your work piece, it is a lot easier on your dust collection system because the configuration of the inserts breaks up the chips. Another benefit to the indexed insert design is ease of maintenance. Dull or damaged insert knives are individually replaced, a much more cost effective option than having to replace expensive knives the full length of your planer head. Each cutterhead comes with 5 extra inserts and a torque driver to aid insert replacement. The Dewalt DW735 replacement cutterhead now comes in two sizes. The original was sized slightly smaller (.0078 inches) than the OEM cutterhead in order to fit through the hole in the chassis with the inserts still mounted on the cutterhead. This OEM cutter is machined slightly larger to give you a cutterhead that is the same size as the one you are removing. You will need to remove the inserts prior to install, and then replace them once the cutterhead is in place.

  • Produces beautiful finish, low noise level,
This product is absolutely amazing and is the best upgrade you can do to any tool or woodworking machine I can think of. Amazing how quite it is compared to the blades that SCREEM as they chop along. The thing is slicing and the finish is just beautiful and every woodworker deserves this quality for their projects. Seriously the finish produced with this cutter head in the DW735 is as good or better than any planer I have own and I have owned a number of large, expensive machines. Just a few comments of those negative reviews, most of which have come about with people not understanding the proper procedures for installing the Shelix head and especially removing and installing the cutters. Many of the on line videos of this installation are being done incorrectly, especially installing the individual carbide cutter. Follow the directions closely and you will not have any problems, especially installing the cutters which must be positioned FLAT on the head allow the screw to pull/push the cutter back against the alignment wall. Do NOT allow the cutter to sit against that back wall until they are dead flat on the bottom surface. The screws and screw holes are not designed to align exactly over each other, which is what some are doing, and that means the cutter segments are not flat on the surface and they are misaligned and can be broken when tightened, and they will produce streaks that some are talking about. Just watch the companies website videos and you will be fine. I found it helpful to wrap the head without the cutters, in blue painters tape and slowly insert it into the planner. When resistance is felt, try moving the end of the cutter head slowly, left or right, up or down and you be able to step the each segment platform through the cutter hole one at a time. I had to remove the small gear on one end of the shaft and install it after the cutter head was installed in the machine, as it was preventing me from moving the shaft forward as it approached the far end bearing race. I found it easy to set the bearing and head into the planner races by putting the shaft pulley nut flush on the shaft and then striking it lightly with a large rubber hammer. It provides a much larger surface to distribute the rubber hammer strikes. A little light weight oil wiped on the races and bearing also help with the install. Most of the videos on line show the cutters being installed with a power driver, or one handed just cranking away, big mistake. One hand should be sliding the carbide and holding it FLAT on the base and the tightening screw will help pull it back to the alignment wall. You can use your thumb to make sure it is flat, then slide it toward the wall and tighten. The SCREW HEADS will not be flush in the cutter holes, they are designed to be slightly offset as that is what holds the carbide cutter tight and properly aligned. Hope this helps others, this is a fantastic product but you have to install it correctly. ... show more

  • SUPER SATISFIED!!!!
If you're not using one of these cutterheads in your planer, you don't know what you're missing!!!! I put one in my DeWalt DW735 and am truly amazed at the finish left on hard and softwood. It's quieter than straight blades but does have a downside in this particular planer. I can't make the depths of cuts as I did with the straight blades without tripping the internal thermal breaker. I can certainly deal with that considering the cut quality that I receive. Shipping time was excellent despite some sources saying that they were backordered. I think that it's great value for the money and even tried to get a cutterhead for my joiner only to find out that they're not available for that joiner because of the design (nonadustable cutterhead). Considering everything, I highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Awesome product
Before I got this cutter head my planner was basically unusable, now it’s fun to use and the wood comes out like glass. If you’re debating on buying this, don’t it makes all the difference in the world. Noise is not even near the volume it was before and the machine stopped tripping the breakers. Just buy the thing already you will not regret it ... show more

  • Worth the money!
I took a chance with some inconsistent reviews on here. With some about the teeth not lining up well. I took my time removing the teeth as needed for the install. I marked the first one that I removed and went in a sequential order. Putting them all back exactly where they were, whether that matters or not. I don't think so. But I didn't want to leave it up to chance. It was not that hard to make sure that this they were seated properly. Just took some time. After the install was complete and double checked a couple things following their instructions online. It was totally worth the money. The noise reduction is worth its wait in gold. And tear out on multidirection grain is almost nonexistent. On some pieces I did see some ghost lines, nothing that a light sanding won't remove. Especially compared to the chipping that you get on the standard straight knives from dewalt. Overall, just happy about the purchase. Take your time installing. It pay close attention to how you set the teeth. ... show more
