When an edge wears out, the insert is rotated 90° without replacement, presenting a new sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that each insert offers 4 full uses before replacement. With 36 inserts total, the available cutting capacity before a complete change is therefore equivalent to 144 sharpenings of a traditional knife.

The spiral cutterhead with carbide inserts is specifically recommended for hard and exotic woods, where straight-knife cutterheads cause tear-out and require frequent sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHW carbide inserts have significantly higher hardness than traditional HSS, which translates into wear resistance on oak, ash, teak, wenge, and resinous woods. The spiral geometry (4 spirals, 36 inserts arranged helically) distributes the cut progressively along the width of the workpiece, reducing vibration and improving surface finish even on woods with irregular grain or knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the minimum thickness the PS33 can plane?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PS33 does not specify a minimum thickness as an absolute motor limit but indicates a minimum workpiece length of 120 mm. The maximum accepted thickness is 156 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor planing very thin pieces (under 10 mm), it is necessary to assess the risk of tear-out from the rubberized feed rollers, which exert pressure on the workpiece. In these cases, it is advisable to work the piece with a support batten of the same thickness placed alongside the piece to be planed, to distribute the pressure of the rollers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the lateral depth stop useful for repeated planing to a fixed dimension?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 7-position depth stop (from 3.2 to 38 mm) allows setting a fixed dimension and repeating the same pass on multiple pieces without re-measuring the depth each time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly useful in the production of battens for handmade parquet, frames, and moldings where all pieces must be of the same thickness. The 7 positions cover the most common finished thickness measurements in artisanal joinery. For intermediate dimensions not covered by the stop, the continuous scale of the planing head can still be adjusted with millimeter precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat spare parts are available for the PS33 and where can they be ordered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main spare part for the PS33 is the reversible HW insert code IGM N013 (15x15x2.5 mm, R=150), available from Krollit's warehouse in Monteforte Irpino (AV).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N013 insert is the same one used in several IGM spiral cutterhead models, which simplifies spare parts management for those who own multiple machines from the same range.
