Wood cutting tool and an arrangement for using said tool

A wood cutting tool, mountable on a shaft for rotation about an axis for profiling a timber product, the cutting tool comprising:

• a body (101;
• 201) having a radial extension, an axial width, and seats (105, 106, 107) for attaching cutting inserts (111, 112, 113;
• 211, 212, 213);
• at least two first cutting inserts (111) mounted with equal spacing at an outer periphery of the body (101;
• 201), each one of said first cutting inserts (111;
• 211) having a cutting edge (121;
• 221) that extends at least across the width of the body (101;
• 201) at a peripheral radius from the axis;
• and
• at least two second cutting inserts (112, 113;
• 212, 213) mounted with equal spacing adjacent the outer periphery on a first side surface of the body (101;
• 201), said second cutting inserts (112, 113;
• 212, 213) having cutting edges (122, 123;
• 222, 223) that extend at least partially into an axial plane (P) at right angles to the axis,
• wherein the cutting edge (121;
• 221) of each first cutting insert (111;
• 211) is arranged to terminate at distance from the axial plane (P) of the second cutting inserts (112, 113;
• 212, 213), and
• wherein the cutting edge (122, 123;
• 222, 223) of each second cutting insert (112, 113;
• 212, 213) that precedes a first cutting insert (111;
• 211) is arranged adjacent the leading cutting edge of the first cutting insert and is arranged to extend by a radial distance (Δr) outside the peripheral radius of the cutting edges (121;
• 221) of the first cutting inserts (111;
• 211) so as to weaken a material of the timber product adjacent the leading cutting edge of the first cutting inserts.
