The ShearTec: II features 4-sided solid carbide inserts with a T-shoulder rather than a cone-shaped design, which helps prevent cracking of the inserts.
Another benefit of the hard T-shoulder versus the cone shape is that you don’t need to worry about the exact pressure the knife is set with, there is no flex in the T-shoulder design. Each insert features a slightly crowned leading edge and is set in a spiral pattern for a true shear cut. Deep gullets make dust and chips disappear quickly which produces a better finish. ShearTec: II inserts are 15x15x2.5mm, which is slightly larger and thicker than standard knives (14x14x2mm) The JX series equipped with the ShearTec: II have one more advantage: it is quiet! The low impact of the 6-row STII makes for a pleasant experience for your ears. Laguna planers have been torture-tested on the most difficult hardwood knots and changing grain direction to prove their superior cut quality.
