4-Row Design with 54 Carbide Blades
Findbuytool helical cutterhead features 54 premium carbide blades arranged in a 4-row design for unmatched durability and performance. Compared to traditional HSS blades, these blades last up to 40 times longer, saving you money and reducing downtime. The innovative design also produces smaller wood chips, making cleanup easier and improving dust collection efficiency. Perfect for both hardwoods and softwoods, this cutterhead delivers consistent, high-quality results every time.
Real Helical Cutter Head for Super Smooth Surface Finish
Unlike traditional straight blades that cut through wood, the angled helical blades cut cleanly through wood fibers, eliminating tearing, shearing, and splintering. This results in a smoother finish with minimal sanding, even on tricky wood grains like curly maple or knotty pine. The continuous cutting motion reduces vibration and ensures consistent results, while smaller wood chips make cleanup easier and improve dust collection efficiency.
Features of Helical Cutterhead
-
Easy Blade Changes, No Sharpening Required
Blade maintenance has never been easier! Our carbide blades are easy to replace — no adjustments or sharpening needed. Simply swap out the blade when necessary and get back to work in minutes. This hassle-free design saves you time and keeps your planer performing at its best. Say goodbye to downtime and hello to reliable, precise cuts every time.
-
50% Quieter Operation
Our helical cutterhead reduces noise levels by at least 50%, creating a quieter, more comfortable workspace. Whether you're working late at night or in a busy shop, the reduced noise makes for a more pleasant experience for you and those around you. Plus, the smoother operation means less vibration and fatigue during long projects.
-
Rust-Proof Black Oxide Coating
Protect your investment with our long-lasting, rust-proof coating. The black oxide finish offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring your cutterhead stays in top condition even in demanding environments. This added durability makes it a smart choice for professionals and hobbyists alike, delivering reliable performance for years to come.
4-Edge Round-Corner Carbide Insert Knife
Our helical cutterhead for the DW734 planer uses this innovative 0.5mm rounded-corner insert to achieve better cutting results!
0.5mm Rounded Edges
The 0.5mm rounded edges act as "safety buffers"—even if the insert is installed slightly crooked, they prevent annoying scratches and splinters on wood surfaces.
4 Edges = 4x the Value
Simply rotate the insert to access fresh cutting edges whenever one wears out. This smart rotation system quadruples the lifespan and reduces replacement costs by 75% compared to single-edge inserts.
R150 Edge Radius
The 150mm edge radius is specifically designed to optimize the helical cutterhead's performance, enhancing the cutting for a smoother, more efficient experience on all types of wood.
High Durability
Tested for over 2,000 hours, the curved corners reduce edge chipping by 82% compared to sharp-corner inserts. Whether cutting hardwood, plywood, or knotty timber, these inserts maintain smooth results (≤0.8μm surface roughness) while running 55°C cooler to protect material integrity.

Customer Reviews
I upgraded my Jointer to a carbide helical cutter head several years ago, and it is one of the best things I have ever done. I have wanted to do the same to my planer, but I wasn’t sure it was worth the expense and trouble. Then I came across some You Tube videos about this cutter head from FindBuyTool. It had some great reviews, and the price was in my budget so I gave it a try.
This head has 56, 4 sided, carbide inserts on a true helical 12 1/2 inch head. They even included 4 extra inserts, as well as two Allen head drivers for installing the inserts. Everything was packed very well, and arrived within one week of my order being placed. I have not used it on a project yet, but my initial testing looks very good. I had to do some adjustment of my tables to reduce some leading edge snipe, but the quality of the cut is very good. It is noticeably quieter, and the dust collection has improved tremendously due to the smaller chip size.
The most difficult part of the installation is seating the bearings of the new cutter head into the planer. Unfortunately there are no installation instructions that come with it, so I had to rely on the internet and You Tube. The tools included a deep socket that I can only assume was meant to help with this installation, but I was not sure how. I don’t have much experience with installing bearings, so I was afraid to bang on the bearings too hard. I ended up finding a large washer that was about the same diameter as the bearing and banging on it with a smaller PVC pipe to get it seated. Including good instructions would go a long way to making this a better product!

Got this for my DeWalt DW 734. I made over 20 hard wood cutting boards so far and little snipe and silky smooth finish right from the planner. Best finish ever. Seven days from the time I ordered the cutter head it arrived at my shop. Very easy to install after watching YouTube video. I could not be any happier, for the price and quality of the product. I highly recommend this wonderful cutter head.
Beautiful wood! Thank you for your approval, Doug.

The cutterhead is great and fairly easy to install.
But you must find video for instructions on YouTube. Took me a little over 5.5 hours to complete the install. But should only take about 4 hours. My install included a thorough cleaning that has never been done and this took well over 1.5 hours due to the build up of pitch from several years of working.
Finished install and my what a difference. The planner was quieter, and so dam smooth.
I love this thing , like having a brand new and better unit.
Thanks

Seamless purchase. Product shipping is from a USA warehouse. Total cost is ALL inclusive. Also took advantage of an additional discount mentioned on the site. Savings was incredible compared to other brands. Tracking was exactly as stated. The helical cutter appears to be very well made of quality materials although I haven’t installed it yet on my DW 733 Type 2. Only negative is must go to site to watch an actual installation as the unit does not come with installation instructions. Will do business again with FINDBUYTOOLS. Thanks for a great product.
