HI Kazuma, I am glad you like the spiral cutterhead. The carbide knives sit at an angle to the centerline and genenrate a shearcut action. Yes the spiral cutterhead can cut more aggressively and thicker than any type of cutterheads or planning drums do. If you the surface finish is not good, then reotate it to reveal a new edge. Can I embeded your video in our website?
Yes cutting the rocker in the nose and tail direction is fine but it is harder to keep the bottom symmetrical from side to side and It is common to introduce twist unless you are really good with the planer.
The only way you'd get a twist is if the guy's has terrible control w planer.😀 You do have to know how to use depth control adjustment as your planing, and not plane over same spot you just cut. IMHO - it's a more efficient technique than cross cutting. Upfront, I learned the cross cutting technique, but I almost totally abandoned it as it's time consuming, and riskier to blow out a stringer. Only time I do it is if I have a big thick tail! Then I do only a few cross cuts, and then switch to linear planer cuts - using otf lever mowing in my rocker. Recently another shaper I met taught me how to use to use rocker template. That can also be more accurate to people who don't have good abilities with planer.

Im instilling mine right now ...Sounds so crisp and accurate !!!!!!
Have you ever tried cutting the rocker in the same angle of planer using your otf lever? So much simpler than cross cutting!

Thanks for the video but what about a little review at the end? haha No idea if you liked it or not from this video...
Have you tested this on EPS? If so, how did it work out?
Looks like an efficient cutterhead. Is that a SUP blank on the rack?
Yes that beast of a blank is a sup blank
@@kazumasurfboards Thought so. I remember the first time I heard of your boards was with Elise Guarrigues back in France
hotter tan regular blades? 18:21
I believe that it was running hot because the planer wasn't hooked up to the vacuum. I will retest to confirm.
Sounds like a router
