When using a CNC Radius Cutter to create smooth curved edges on wood panels, mastering cutter radius compensation (CRC) is essential for precision and efficiency. This guide explains how to use G41 and G42 codes to control cutter compensation in CNC programming — especially when working with arc bending one-piece forming cutters.
1. Definition of Planing Tools and Operational Requirements A planing tool is a cutting tool for planing operations. Its quality directly affects the accuracy, surface roughness, and production efficiency of the workpiece. Therefore, planer operators must master the geometric angles of planing tools and proficiently sharpen and select them. Planing tools are cutting tools for […]
What Is a CNC Radius Cutter? A CNC Radius Cutter, also known as an arc bending one-piece forming cutter, is a specialized router bit designed for creating curved edges, arc folds, and smooth corner transitions in woodworking. Unlike standard flat or straight bits, this tool has a unique curvature that enables seamless radius edges, especially […]
Cutting tools developed rapidly in the late 18th century, alongside machines like steam engines. In 1783, René of France first made milling cutters. In 1792, Henry Maudslay of the UK created taps and dies. The earliest record of the twist drill dates to 1822, but manufacturers didn’t produce it as a commodity until 1864. Back […]
Helical Spiral Milling Cutter Head for Clean, Quiet & Efficient Wood Cutting
In modern woodworking, surface quality, noise control, and production efficiency are no longer optional — they are essential.
Spiral planer blades, also known as helical spiral milling cutter heads, are becoming the preferred cutting solution for light-duty planing, profiling, and shaping applications.
This article introduces the structure, advantages, applications, and specifications of a Woodworking Light-Duty Helical Spiral Cutter Head, helping you understand why it is an ideal upgrade for planers, moulders, shapers, and jointers.
Aluminum plate cutting and processing For aluminum sheet cutting, we recommend using single-flute dedicated aluminum end mills. These tools are non-stick during processing and offer high speed and efficiency. For large-scale deep relief carving on materials such as cork, MDF, raw wood, PVC, and acrylic, we suggest using single-flute spiral ball end mills. For burr-free […]
Introduction
In modern woodworking, edging quality can make or break the final appearance and durability of a panel. The WhisperCut Pre-Mill Cutter with PCD inserts is engineered to meet the high-speed, high-precision needs of today’s automated edgebanding machines.

When it comes to high-speed, high-precision CNC applications, HSK-63F tool holders stand out as a reliable and efficient solution. Engineered for rigidity, speed, and accuracy, this tool holder format is widely used in modern machining centers.
What Is a Bottom Cleaning Router Bit? A bottom cleaning router bit is a type of CNC or handheld router tool used to flatten the surface of wooden boards and clean out pockets. It is also called a surface planing router bit or slab flattening bit. The primary function is to create a smooth, even […]
In woodworking operations, a small accessory often determines the overall accuracy and efficiency. Many people overlook the role of the eccentric wheel, which is actually the key to the stable operation of the sliding table saw.
