Key Knife identified the need for a new planer head that would help planer mills increase production, lower production costs, improve finish, and enhance employee safety. Key Knife used their extensive knowledge of indexible knife technology to create the revolutionary Key Planer Head. The innovative design of the planer head and the use of a smaller disposable knife allows for more knives in a cutting diameter. The result is a planer head that will significantly improve your surface finish, production volume, operating efficiencies, and safety.  Key Planer Head advantages are:

• Increased production with the Key Planer Head by utilizing more knives in a cutting diameter giving you the flexibility to increase the production rate without sacrificing finish
• Superior surface finish by increasing the number of knives in the Key Planer Head’s cutting diameter (in some cases by as much as 100%) we can significantly increase the number of cuts per inch made
• Increased operating efficiency and safety - the Ridge Strip Planer Knife is precision ground from modified tool steel that eliminates the need for grinding, lasts 2-3 times longer than a conventional knife, and does not need to be kept in matched sets
