Rotating/Replacing
Cutterhead Inserts
(G0656XW)
This spiral cutterhead is equipped with index-
able carbide inserts. Each insert can be rotat-
ed to reveal any one of its four cutting edges.
Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or
damaged, simply rotate it 90˚ to reveal a fresh
cutting edge as shown below.
Each insert has a reference dot on one corner.
As the insert is rotated, the reference dot location
can be used as an indicator of which edges are
used and which are new. When the reference dot
revolves back around to its starting position, the
insert should be replaced.
