While bowl coring the cutter will probably need to withstand shocks caused by knots and defects in the wood. To minimise sanding the turner will also want to produce an excellent finish off the tool. Given the wide range of cutter options available, including Carbide, Woodcut Tools researched what cutters worked well in sawmill operations.Woodcut Tools established that Stellite was commonly used for saw tipped bandsaws and recognised for the unique ability to withstand shocks from knots, stones and nails in the wood.Proven on hard and soft woods also delivering an excellent wood finish and experience a long operational life with great wear resistance.The Stellite cutter can be hollow ground.Each Bowlsaver blade includes a Stellite cutter.
Why are the Stellite cutters welded onto the blades? The answer is simple, Stellite is simply too hard to create a screw hole in it.This density provides the resilience and long life for the cutter.
If ever needed, you can purchase a new Stellite cutter and have it easily replaced by your local saw doctor.
Note: Tips last for up to 500 bowls but can be re-tipped using our replacement stellite tips. Please note these blades are not suitable for the Bowlsaver Max3.
