This is a 13-inch spiral helical cutterhead made for the DeWalt DW735, DW735X and DW735XE planers. It has 4 spiral rows of 56 carbide inserts, and the cutting action is meant to leave a smooth finish with less tear-out and chatter.
The body is hardened steel with a black oxide coating that resists corrosion and resin buildup. The bearings come pre-installed, so no pressing is needed. Each carbide insert has 4 cutting edges. You can rotate an insert when it dulls or replace inserts one at a time.
The helical shearing action produces smaller chips, which clear more efficiently through dust collection. It can be used on hardwoods such as oak, hickory and walnut, and on softwoods such as poplar and spruce. During installation, align each insert with its bevel facing correctly, following the diagram.
