The Benefit of Tungsten Carbide Inserts For Wood Cutting

Compared with flat knife tungsten carbide inserts have lots of advantages.

For example:
1. These tungsten carbide cutting knives for wood will not produce burn marks on the cutting surface, but traditional flat knives will. When it has been used for a long time and its cutting edge is getting blunt, or when feed is temporarily stopped, cutting heat will remain burn marks on the surface.

2. Traditional flat knife has a bad performance in temperature distribution, and when your tool gets hot in its working, the cutting edge will also sustain higher heat, and its passivation speed will be improved, which may cause the tool to lose its original stability. But none of those carbide blades with aluminus alloy blade body will have these problems. These tungsten carbide inserts with better heat dissipation have indicated stability and promised a longer service life.

3. Small blades loaded on the spiral cutter heads will produce smaller wood chips, which means you can easily discharge wood chips away from the wood surface. But traditional flat knives are prone to produce large signs of damage on the wood. Due to their large force area, traditional flat knives are easy to form cutting deformation and will give you a ragged cutting surface.
