HelixHead high-performance helical cutterheads from H3D Tooling is custom-made for a customer's specific machine and dynamically balanced to the exact specifications of that machine. The HelixHead is produced in a mill/turn machine that the company says allows for one-step precision tooling.  

The HelixHead features Quick-Turn 4-sided blades, which are made of solid carbide, provides four times the cutting life compared to traditional straight knife blades. 

HelixHead tooling also features Whisper Quiet Technology that the company says reduces noise by approximately 20 DB. The tool's Helical V Design channels chips away from the blade, making for a quieter operation and a smoother finish. The four-sided blades are flush with the HelixHead, which allows for constant blade contact and eliminates pickouts, providing a smoother finish, and even eliminates the first step to sanding, the company says.
