Planer Overview

A planer knife is a crucial component in woodworking planer molding machines. These are high-precision blades, typically made from high-speed steel (HSS) and designed to shape and smooth wood surfaces. They are mounted on a rotating cutterhead and, as the wood passes beneath, the knives shave off thin layers of material, creating a precise and finished product.

Profile Description

Shape: Planer knives come in the standard size of 7 inches. They are designed to make straight cuts, creating a smooth flat surface
Material: High-speed steel (HSS) knives offer a good balance of hardness and toughness, while carbide knives are extremely durable and can maintain a sharp edge for longer periods.

Purpose

Shaping: Planer knives are used to shape wood into various profiles, such as moldings, trims, and decorative elements.
Smoothing: They remove surface irregularities, creating a smooth and finished surface.
Thicknessing: Planer knives can be used to reduce the thickness of wood boards to a specific dimension.

Common Usage

Furniture manufacturing: Creating intricate moldings and decorative elements for furniture pieces.

Cabinetmaking: Shaping cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and other components.

Millwork: Producing custom millwork, such as window and door frames, stair parts, and paneling.

General woodworking: Smoothing and shaping wood for various projects, such as flooring, trim, and decorative pieces.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the door stop molding you want to create.
By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired door stop molding profile.
