✨ ADVANTAGES:
-
18% Tungsten – Superior Heat Resistance: the cutting edge maintains its hardness at temperatures generated by intense friction with hardwoods, unlike DS steel which softens more quickly.
-
Extended Lifespan: the interval between resharpenings is significantly longer compared to DS blades, reducing machine downtime for maintenance.
-
Precision Finish: suitable for fine planing on beech, oak, ash, and hornbeam – dense woods that rapidly wear out standard blades.
-
Ready to Mount: factory-sharpened edge, directly onto the machine's shaft.
⚠️ ATTENTION:
- For softwoods (spruce, fir, pine), the Pilana DS variant is sufficient and more economical — HSS 18% Tungsten shows its advantage on hardwoods and high production volume.
- Always mount the complete set of blades on the shaft, with uniform tightening — imbalance causes vibrations and uneven cutting.
