ABSTRACT:
A cutter head system for a woodworking tool in which one or a plurality of discrete cutter segments may be mounted on a shaft of a selected length to form a cutter head for either a jointer, a planer or a molding cutter. Each segment has a plurality of slot portions spaced about its outer periphery and is adapted to be mounted on a shaft so that the slot portions of ganged segments form continuous slots which are substantially coextensive with the segments. A plurality of blade members are positioned within and are coextensive with the slots, wedge plates are positioned within the slots for releasably securing the blade members against the cutter segments, and mounting screws urge the wedge plates against the blade members. Sets of blade members and wedge plates of varying length are used which correspond in length to the length of the slots formed by the segments. In a preferred embodiment, each cutter head includes screws at the base of the slots which may be adjustably positioned relative to the cutter head to support the blade members at an appropriate height.
