About Conventional Cutterheads

Conventional cutterheads are the workhorses of the woodworking industry—reliable, versatile, and cost-effective solutions for a wide range of moulding applications. These cutterheads use mechanical clamping systems, typically with screws or wedges, to secure the knives in place. While more traditional in design, conventional cutterheads continue to play an important role in day-to-day wood processing, offering dependable performance and flexibility for a variety of profiles and production needs.

Well-suited for operations running standard profiles, short production runs, or where tooling changes are less frequent, conventional cutterheads are an excellent choice for manufacturers looking for durable and budget-friendly tooling options. They’re easy to maintain and compatible with many existing knife systems, making them ideal for both newer shops and long-established production lines.
