    Byrd/Shelix cutterhead owners no longer need to have the price envy of the US!

    Hi Steve,
    Are you offering any kind of bulk discount?

    As things are just starting with these inserts and I have a relatively limited stock of inserts the moment I haven't added any - however I was considering as pricing scale of something along the lines:

    1 - 49 - $3.80 per pcs
    50 - 99 - $3.60 per pcs
    100+ - $3.45 per pcs

    Until I sort the site out I please contact me directly with your requirements and I can sort things out for you.

    Cheers

    Alright then - the Felder/Hammer Silent Power inserts are now in stock and available through my site!

    As an FYI for those in Brisbane if you are in attending the Timber & Working with Wood Show I will certainly be at the Show - currently on the Saturday - so if you are in need of any inserts let me know and I can bring them along and you can save yourself the shipping fees!

    I hope to sort my little gif for the ad this week or next also - sadly I don't get to actually sit down until around 9pm most nights so my time for these things is at a premium!

    Cheers

    Good news for those who own the 15" or 20" Carbatec Spiral head thicknessers - I will have stock of inserts for them in approximately 1 week time!

    Well thanks to DHL that one week turned into two - I have finally received the new inserts today after they had a 1 week break in Brisbane Airport courtesy of DHL!

    Anyway at last they have arrived and they are available on the website as usual.

    Thanks!

    Steve

    FYI for those waiting on the Hafco/Carbatect 13" spiral head thicknesser inserts & the Carbatect 15" & 20" thicknesser inserts - they are currently en-route to Brisbane and I should have them on Monday.

    Due to router bits being ordered at the same time their production has delayed the delivery of the inserts . . . I'll certainly be making sure they are shipped separately for future orders

    Alright then - the stock keeps expanding - on the way from the factory are the inserts for both varieties of the CTS thicknesser heads (so the 15x15x2.5 R150 4R0.5 and the 14x14 straight edge) - the Ledacraft MB508 use the straight edge inserts . . .

    They should be with me come Monday and hopefully by then also my new website AND sponsor banner will finally make an appearance on this site!!! (amazing how much time doing these things sap away!)

    Thanks for all those who have added their reviews on the site!

    Steve

    I have a Carbatec combination 10x8 machine.
    I used all 4 faces of mine a while ago and removed them and sharpened them all by hand,rubbing each one 100 times on the top surface of each insert on a diamond stone.
    Took a few hours but was worth it considering the cost.I found that they cut jut as good as new.

    Some past research on the internet revealed that the manufacture of the spiral head was to be found on Alibaba and cutters could be purchased for a fraction of the price Carbatec was asking.
    I have however not as yet bothered trying to buy any as I figured could probably hand sharpen a few more times yet.

    Unfortunately they are not standard ones and there seem to many inserts of slightly different specifications.
    True spiral head machines,such as the one I have use inserts with a radiused face,150mm diameter in my case.

    Most of the Carbatec machines currently offered are not true spiral head,despite the name,the only thing spiral about them is a fancy spiral groove milled around the cutter head to give the illusion.They are simply segmented cutting heads.These inserts are set at 90 degrees to the axis of the cutter block and have a straight cutting edge.

    With a little searching online you should be able to track down cheaper replacements,unfortunately the woeful echange rate against the U.S dollar does us no favours.You would still need to know the exact specification of the inserts,especially if they are radiused.

    15x15x2.5xR150 with 4R0.5 corners
    http://sje-tools.com/carbide-inserts...esinserts.html

    I awaiting for delivery of the 15x15x2.5xR150 with square corners . . . I would say as I sell them at nearly a third of the Carbatec price that's a good fraction!

    Oh and mine are higher grade carbide than Carbatec

    . . .


    or you can go on Alibaba a find a manufacturer purchase the minimum quantity and shipping and hope you get a decent one . . .

    Steve, are you up on the latest Carbatec 8" jointer inserts (CTJ-350X)? One of their sales guys says the latest models have 14.18mm square inserts, not 14.0mm
    regards,

    Dengy
