    Description

    The Powermatic 100, PM100, is one of the most desirable vintage 12" planers out there. This is a helical cutter head, manufactured by WGM Tool Works, to replace the stock traditional HSS steel cutters. Each head features 4 rows of cutters for a total of ~50. Each cutter, or carbide insert, is solid carbide and will out last your steel knives by a good margin. Each insert also has four cutting sides so just rotate the one side that gets dull and your are ready to plane again. The dimensions of the inserts are 15mmX15mmX2.5mm.
    The advantages a helical cutterhead offers include:
    Chip outs largely eliminated
    Extremely noise reduction
    Long lasting cutter life
    No sharpening
    Easy replacement of cutters and no alignment required
    The last picture is an example of a planed lumber surface through a helical cutterhead.
    The package include:
    a helical cutterhead with carbide cutter inserts installed
    5 additional spare carbide inserts
    5 additional spare Torx screws
    a wrench for installing inserts
