✨ ADVANTAGES:
- Heat resistance: the edge keeps its hardness under the friction heat of hardwood, unlike DS steel.
- Longer service life: much longer intervals between resharpening than DS knives — less machine downtime.
- Precision finish: suited to fine planing of beech, oak, ash and hornbeam.
- Ready to mount: factory-sharpened edge, fits directly on the machine cutterhead.
⚠️ ATTENTION:
- 💡 For softwood (spruce, fir, pine) Pilana DS is sufficient and more economical — HSS 18% W pays off on hardwood and high production volumes.
- Always mount the complete set of knives on the cutterhead with even tightening — imbalance causes vibration and uneven planing.
