The article provides the results of research and development projects on improvement of wood cutter design, with regard to its operational reliability, manufacturability and efficiency. The design of the wood-milling cutters was improved both in terms of the form of the cutter element, and their location in the housing. The article presents arrangement schemes for cutting units, equations for key parameters of operational reliability, as well as drafts for assembly and replacement of cutter elements.
