I have a 20 inch General Model 330 planer (made inCanada) helical head planer and need to buy a couple if sets of chips 300 per set. I have sent letters to General and get no reply. This is not unusul as many companies do not respond when they receive a letter from a foreign country.

I like their machinery and a few weeks ago sent a request for prices for a freind who does does not speak english . It would have been an order for several hundred thousand dollars and they did not answer that either so he went to the States and bought a complete line of machinery.

I am attacning a couple of photos of the head. Does anyone know of another company where I can buy the chips ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim, maybe a close up of one with accurate dimensions would help us. Can you get yours sharpened?

Howdy,
I buy my Byrd cutter tips from this place...

A lot cheap and they actually seem sharper. They have them on sale often.

Might try a search for
"Indexable insert cutter bits", or something with Indexable in the search. This is what machine shops use, but, I'm not up on sizes of the bits.
