Knife drums

The first manuals that invented various tools, then not very far from machine tools, forced people to process wood, including planed wood.

In planing machines, an important part of the process of processing profile wood and planing heads is the knife drum. This important detail is also used in the development of electric elastic bands. The knives are attached to a drum, which removes chips and gives the desired shape when processing wood.

• At what frequency does the drum rotate? This is determined by the cutting speed required to machine a given workpiece or material.
• What is the diameter of the knife drum? 35-60 mm.
• How many blades are installed on the drum? Using special clamping devices, it can be modified from one to three blades. In most cases, however, the two-knife option is used.

Each option with the number of knives has its own advantages. If the drum is equipped with a single blade, this design reduces the weight of the tool and the diameter of the shaft. This way the load on the engine saves energy and reduces the wear rate of the machine. If it is necessary to complete the process, a drum with one knife is also installed, which best removes a layer of wood. With two or three blades it is impossible to achieve perfect positioning – the millimeter fraction also plays a role here.
