TG58.160.4K – Side cutterhead (right/left) compatible with machines MP 360. Cutting head height 6” (160 mm) and outside diameter 88 mm (91 mm with standard knives) makes it a universal head capable of doing most moulding profiles. It features 4 knife slots, so it’s possible to mount a maximum of 4 knives onto it.
All profile knives are mounted on the head by means of pins and wedges (WM MP system). This system guarantees high stability and precision of each cutting operation. Each knife features holes that match exactly the pins on each wedge.
The straight knives are mounted without pins/holes. Every wedge with a straight knife inserted on it, is held tight to the cutting head with 7 Allen bolts. At the cutting head height of 6” (160 mm) it’s recommended to install straight knives that are 6” (160 mm) high.
To remove the head from the spindle, loosen the top locking nut using 2 wrenches and slide cutting head off spindle. Then you’re ready to replace the knives on the head – loosen the Allen bolts holding the wedges and take out the knives from the slots. Now put the knives of a desired profile back in, tighten the bolts and reassemble the head on the spindle. Remember always to use protective gloves when working with knives as their blades have extremely sharp edges!
Use the Wood-Mizer TOOLS catalogue as your main guide in choosing the right profile of knives.
The head is made of blackened steel which has anti-friction and anti-adhesive qualities, which means that its operation is very effective, and the sawdust doesn’t stick to its surface. Each cutting head is labelled with Wood-Mizer logo and the technical specification – catalogue type, dimensions, machine compatibility, max operating speed. The full set includes the cutterhead with 2 pcs of 6” (160 mm) HSS straight knives with wedges and 2 pcs of steel fillers with wedges for profile knives - all packed firmly in a nice and durable wooden box.
