Lamellar Edge-Joint Cutter – DS Steel | 5 mm Depth
Bore-type cutter with a heat-treated steel body and oxide finish, brazed with DS Steel inserts, designed for making lamellar (finger-profile) joints between solid wood boards or panels. The teeth cover the entire working width, with a profile depth of 5 mm and a pitch of 6 mm between tooth tips, for a generous contact surface and a strong joint. Available in 8 different working widths — select the variant from the menu.

✨ FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE:
-
8 Working Widths Available: from 60 mm to 156 mm, covering almost any panel or board thickness used in furniture and solid wood structures.
-
Precise and Strong Joints: teeth with 5 mm depth and 6 mm pitch increase the glue contact surface, ensuring uniform bonding and superior mechanical fixing.
-
Efficient Economical Solution: DS Steel inserts are the rational option for small workshops, small-batch production or joinery work that needs a reliable tool without a high purchase cost.
-
Universal Bore with Bushings Included: Ø32 mm standard, with 2 reduction 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, lime, etc.).
- For industrial volumes or hardwood, choose the superior HSS M2 or HW (K40) variants.
-
Ideal for: joinery workshops, solid wood furniture and softwood-based projects.
📊 MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY (DS STEEL)
Softwood (Fir, Spruce, Pine, Lime)
90%
Good / economical: solid results on softwoods, the ideal low-cost option.
Hardwood (Beech, Oak, Ash)
40%
Weak: rapid dulling of the inserts on hardwoods – we recommend HSS M2 or HW (K40) for this case.
Chipboard / MDF / HDF / Composite
Not recommended
Synthetic binders prematurely wear the DS Steel inserts.
💡 Conclusion: working on standard fir or spruce structures? The DS Steel variant is the perfect choice cost-wise. For hardwoods or large industrial volumes, superior HSS M2 and HW (K40) variants are available in our catalog.
🦺 SAFETY MEASURES:
-
Mandatory protective equipment: safety glasses (flying chips), mask or respirator filter (fine wood dust) and hearing protection for prolonged work.
-
Mind your hands and fingers: use push sticks and guides when machining; do not guide the workpiece by hand near the cutter.
-
Check the mounting of the cutter and reduction bushings on the spindle, and that the nut is fully tightened before starting.
-
Observe the recommended speed (6,000 RPM) to avoid vibration or insert damage.
-
Do not force the feed on hardwoods — DS Steel inserts dull quickly under excessive pressure; reduce the feed rate or choose another cutter material.
