Planer Knives

Industrial planer knives are precision cutting tools used in planing, thicknessing and moulding applications to deliver accurate material removal, smooth finishes and consistent machining performance across solid timber and wood-based materials.

Planer Knives for Accurate Material Removal and High-Quality Surface Finish

Planer knives are available in a range of configurations to suit different machine types, cutting requirements and production environments. Selecting the correct knife system ensures consistent finish quality, efficient machining and reliable performance across both workshop and industrial applications.

Daltons supplies a comprehensive range of industrial planer knives, specified to suit machine type, material and application requirements, helping ensure consistent performance, finish quality and extended tool life.

Types of Planer Knives

TERSA Planer Knives

TERSA planer knives are precision-engineered, disposable knives manufactured using high-grade high-speed steel for consistent cutting performance and excellent surface finish. The TERSA system allows for rapid knife changes without setting, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. Each knife is reversible, providing two cutting edges for extended service life.

Slotted Planer Knives

Slotted planer knives are typically used in traditional planer and thicknesser machines, including legacy models. Manufactured from high-speed steel with high tungsten content, they offer durability and reliable performance across a range of timber machining applications. These knives are secured using mechanical fixing systems within the cutterblock.

Standard Planer Knives

Standard planer knives are widely used across modern and conventional machines, offering flexibility in size and application. Manufactured from high-speed steel, they are available in a range of lengths and specifications to suit different cutterblocks, supporting consistent machining and surface finish quality.

Typical Applications

Planer knives are used across woodworking and manufacturing environments where accurate surfacing, sizing and profiling of timber is required, including:

  • Furniture and joinery production

  • Timber processing and preparation

  • Construction and structural timber machining

  • Education and training workshops

Common materials include:

  • Solid wood

  • Wood-based panels
