High
Grade Steel Types
Premium M2-HSS:
Industry standard in the woodworking field. Made from the highest
quality alloys with strict machining tolerances for optimum production.
It contains 6% Tungsten and 5% Molybdenum and hardened to 62 RC
for better wear resistance in harder materials. M2 high
speed steel is the guage that most all tooling steels are
measured against. Great for medium to long runs in hardwoods and
softwoods.
Premium T1-HSS:
"Best Value", Offers
20-30% or more in longer run times than M2 moulding knives. They
are made from 18% Tungsten for extra long runs. T1 is hardened
to 64 RC, and cuts and grinds about the same as M2. T1-HSS is
a great choice for most industrial millwork factories that often
have runs in excess of 5,000 lift in hardwoods.
Black Nitride HSS:
Black Nitride is a premium HSS with a case hardened and black
oxide coating to resist wear and pitch build up. Black Nitride
is another tool in your arsenal that can deliver 20-50% longer
run times than standard M2 moulding knives, yet they are as easy
to machine as standard M2. Our special case hardening procedure
hardens the cutting edge to a depth of .010 and a high hardness
of 73 RC, similar to that of (Opti Steel).
Carbide:
10x's or more the performance of M2 steel. Carbide can be used
for MDF or composites with great results. Available in Back-Pack
style or inlaid per the best application. Replaceable inserts
are available on W&H cutters. Let our tooling expert guide
you when this is the best tooling alternative.
Custom Router Bits / Custom Dedicated
Insert tooling: For (24/7) hard core production , try our
dedicated carbide insert tooling. Keep extra inserts next to the
set up table, for fast on-the-spot changeovers. They also work
great for Teak, Ipe & MDF.

** ) Represents pricing for 1/2"
depth of cut or less in corrugated steel only, deeper depth of
cut may be slightly higher in price. Quoted prices are for "2
knife sets" in corrugated steel, prices are calculated per
inch per knife. Discounts available for 3 knife sets in planer
moulders, but slightly more for just grinding 1 knife. There is
a minimum width charge of 2 1/4" per knife regardless of
actual width of knife. Cope and sticks cost and extra $25.00 per
set. Please call
or email for W&H and Moulder/Planer pricing.
