Profiled Tooth Edge Joint Cutter – DS Steel | Depth 12 mm | Code C06B40DS
Bore-type cutter with a heat-treated steel body and oxidized finish, brazed with DS Steel inserts, designed for joining boards with a complementary profile — a profiled tooth with an adjacent groove on one edge, which fits perfectly into the identical profile of the neighbouring board turned over. Working width 20–40 mm, profile depth 12 mm.

✨ FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE:
-
Working Range 20–40 mm: the tooth profile occupies part of the total thickness, allowing a wide range of board thicknesses to be machined without changing the tool.
-
One Cutter, Both Edges: no need for a pair of cutters — the same tool machines both boards; the second piece is machined turned over, and the profiles fit together perfectly.
-
Tooth and Adjacent Groove Profile: the geometry combines a profiled tooth with a groove right next to it, creating a solid mechanical joint between boards without extra alignment parts.
-
Profile Depth 12 mm: generous contact surface for glue, ensuring uniform bonding and a strong joint.
-
Cost-Effective Solution: DS Steel inserts are the rational choice for small workshops, small-batch production or joinery work that needs a reliable tool without high purchase costs.
-
Bore with Bushings Included: Ø32 mm standard, with flanged bushings for Ø30 mm included — immediate compatibility with both spindle sizes.
-
Treated and Oxidized Body: increased corrosion resistance and a professional look, with replaceable inserts for a long-term investment.
⚠️ USAGE LIMITATIONS (DS STEEL):
-
❌ NOT recommended for chipboard, MDF, HDF or exotic wood! Intended exclusively for natural softwood (conifers, linden etc.).
- For industrial volumes or hardwood, choose the higher-grade HSS M2 or HW (K40) versions.
-
Ideal for: joinery workshops, solid wood furniture and softwood-based projects.
📊 COMPATIBILITY BY MATERIAL TYPE (DS STEEL)
Softwood (Fir, Spruce, Pine, Linden) 90%
Good / economical: solid results on conifers, the ideal low-cost option.
Hardwood (Beech, Oak, Ash) 40%
Poor: inserts dull quickly on hardwoods – we recommend HSS M2 or HW (K40) for this case.
Chipboard / MDF / HDF / Composite Not recommended
The synthetic binder wears DS Steel inserts prematurely.
💡 Conclusion: working on standard fir or spruce structures? The DS Steel version is the perfect choice cost-wise. For hardwoods or large industrial volumes, higher-grade HSS M2 and HW (K40) versions are available in our catalogue.
🦺 SAFETY MEASURES:
-
Mandatory protective equipment: safety glasses (flying chips), mask or respirator filter (fine wood dust) and hearing protection during prolonged work.
-
Mind your hands and fingers: use push sticks and guides when machining pieces; do not guide the workpiece by hand close to the cutter.
-
Check the clamping of the cutter and bushings on the spindle, and that the nut is fully tightened before starting.
-
Observe the recommended speed (6,000 RPM) to avoid vibration or damage to the inserts.
-
Do not force the feed on hardwoods — DS Steel inserts dull quickly under excessive pressure; reduce the feed rate or switch to a different cutting material.
