Wood Machining identification

[Antfromwales]

I'm looking remove Bitumin from some reclaimed blocks I have. A company that specialises in this I believe with a thicknesser.

What head do you think would create this pattern?

Looks like a fly cutter.

sounds like a nightmare to me.....
a brill way to destroy a decent machine....unless industrial.....

never seen that pattern with fly-cutting....well in metal.....

is the wood something special.....? interesting....

I thought that too, but I thought they cut less aggressively than a standard head with two blades.

What do you think?

Yes the floor is special it's a panga panga parquet floor and it's in really great condition.

The company doing it is called the cleaned parquet co the machine an insane amount of reclaimed wood. I'd send mine to them as the seem to have a great setup but I'm just too tight to send my wood to them.

I agree it must be hard on their machines to they must be using something serious maybe three phase.
