This helical cutterhead replaces the stock cutterhead on the DeWalt DW735, DW735X and DW735-XE 13-inch thickness planers. It has the same diameter as the original head. The 4-row head holds 56 carbide inserts that are set at an angle to shear the wood. This cuts with less tear-out and reduces the need for sanding after planing.
The head body is made of steel with a black oxide finish for rust protection. The inserts are tungsten carbide with a radius-corner design that avoids lines and scalloped surfaces. The inserts are mounted on the head during installation. To change an insert, you don't need to adjust anything or re-sharpen it.
The head produces smaller chips, which helps the dust collection system work more efficiently. It also runs with more than 50% less noise than the original head. Torque the insert screws to 6 N·m. See the planer manual for insert installation guidance.
