Tooling, Rotary Lathes

Rotary Lathe tooling was originally patented in 1917 by Mattison Technologies in Rockford Illinois.

While it has been extremely durable tooling it is plagued with engineering oversights which can be understood, given the time of its invention. For 71 years lathe tooling remained virtually unchanged.

In 1988, Western Cutterheads Inc. was established with the intention to modernize the tooling and to develop a profile grinding system. New balancing techniques were developed that dramatically improved performance and reduced setup times. Western Cutterheads also launched a research and development program which ultimately produced the first computer program (copyrighted) for designing lathe tooling, complete with blueprints, patterns, and templates. These exciting advances have made profile grinding of lathe knives a reality.

Western Cutterheads developed the first profile grinding system which has since become the industry standard. Our computer program which develops the knife shapes, templates and [patterns needed in the profile grinding and cutterhead building process reduces the learning curves which can be taught much easier to one or more people. Click here for a short slide show on the Profile Grinding System.

This revolutionary system offers more options in utilization of lathe tooling than ever before. Some customers elect to have us build their tooling, or have us grind their knives only, and they assemble the cutterhead. Knives only can be sent for sharpening, while a second set of knives can be in use. Some companies elect to have blueprints, patterns, and templates made and then build the cutterhead themselves using the grinder we developed specifically for lathe tooling.

In 1994 Western Cutterheads set about developing a new version of Rotary Tooling. The goal was to update the tooling with the latest technologies. Corrugated knives, hydro-locking sleeves, chiplimiters and a fail safe design were included in the new tooling.  This new hydro-locking tooling received the prestigious Challenger Award for excellence at the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta in 1996.  This tooling has now become the standard of the industry.

Tooling, Cutterheads

Unique 319 – Shaping Machine

Hermance Machine Company introduces a new helical cutterhead, designed to be a planer cutterhead, a moulder cutterhead, or a jointer cutterhead. Our unique design offers several important advantages over a spiral cutterhead. First we designed our cutterhead to support the carbide insert knives on three sides to reduce blade chipping and cracking. Second, we aerodynamically designed the cutterhead to run more quietly than straight blade or any other spiral cutterhead. Preliminary tests have shown a 15-20Db reduction when run on an SCM Superset compared to a straight blade moulder head.

Unique 3500 – Triple End Tenoner

Unique introduces its new Model 3503 Triple End Tenoner (patent pending). The 3503 will produce finished cabinet door stiles and rails from random length and width S4S material. The compact feed-through machine was designed to accept rough cut to length S4S material and profile all three sides in one process. The SimpleSet controls allow the operator to simply choose cope, stick or both and the machine takes over. Place parts in one side and they come out the other side accurately finished. A quick change backer system combined with available HSK quick-change spindles allows for fast profile changeover.

Shape and Sand Machines

Unique 319 – Shaping Machine

The 319’s rigid design, industrial strength components and safety features make this machine perfect for shops looking to profile door edges, raised panels, door rails and furniture components. Optional turret positioning and HSK quick change spindles limit change-over time. The machine also has an available sanding station option for sanding raised panels and door edges after shaping them.
