Four knife cutterhead with integral micrometer type, knife raising screws. The four knife cutterhead of high carbon steel is 18-1/2" long and has a 3-1/2" cutting circle. The 5/32" x 1-1/8" x 18-1/8" knives are of high speed steel and can be quickly adjusted with the micrometer type knife raising screws machined integral with cutterhead.

Simple and efficient feed. Driven by a separate 1/2 HP motor and variable pulley. The feed does not take it's power from the cutterhead. The variable speed drive assembly is shown in the picture below. The feed speeds are transmitted to the two driven rollers by sprockets and chain.

Pressure bar and chipbreaker work closely to the knives, thus allowing most pieces to be planed smoothly without dubbing the ends. Both swing concentrically with cutterhead.

Rear view photo shows knife grinder with grinding wheel in place. Grinding attachment can be left on the machine with dust hood in place.
