Design and Construction

The TCT planer knives / HSS serrated knives for hardwood carry tungsten carbide tips for wood planing; the specifications tables list the item attributes as stated by the factory (1 kg weight, hard steel durable construction, wood planing industry) plus the full size list. Serrated options suit hardwood planing.

How It Works

The carbide-tipped knives shear the wood surface as the cutterhead spins: the edge holds sharpness in abrasive hardwood far longer than steel, and the serrated pattern reduces cutting resistance and noise on hard species. Knives are regrindable and indexed for service.

Applications

• Wood planing on planers and jointers
• Hardwood planing lines
• Serrated-knife programmes
• Surface planing production

Suitable Materials

• Solid wood
• MDF and particleboard
• Plywood and veneered panels
• Laminated boards

The carbide tips hold edge sharpness through abrasive hardwood planing runs.

Material Comparison: Tungsten Carbide vs. PCD

The figures below are typical industry data. Carbide is the standard for this tool line; PCD wins on very high-volume abrasive work.

Figures are typical published values; actual tool life depends on the workpiece material, feed rate, depth of cut, machine condition and maintenance schedule.

Delivery Scope

Single knife. Order by the specification stated in the specifications tables below.

Why Choose VPOINT

• One-year warranty on every cutter — defects in material or workmanship are covered for 12 months from delivery.
• Custom tooling — diameters, shanks, cutting lengths and flute configurations built to your drawing or sample.
• Non-standard fabrication — sizes outside the standard catalogue, including special geometries.
• Resharpening service — cutters return to service after regrinding at a fraction of new-tool cost.
• Factory-direct since 2008 — ISO 9001 manufacturing in Sichuan and Dongguan, China; no trading intermediaries.

Send a drawing, a sample or a worn tool, and our engineering team will quote the exact specification you need.

Precision & Quality Control

Every cutter is inspected before shipment. Shank diameter, cutting-edge diameter, cutting length and overall length are measured against the values listed in the specifications table, and cutting edge runout is verified on the assembled tool.

Tools measuring outside tolerance do not ship. Inspection is performed under our ISO 9001 quality system, with batch records retained for traceability.
