LANCASTER LATHE KNIVES
In 1956, Lancaster developed and manufactured the first THRU-HARDENED SOLID STEEL LATHE KNIFE. It quickly became the primary cutting tool used by the plywood industry in the United States. Today, even under the most severe operating conditions, the Lancaster THRU-HARDENED SOLID STEEL LATHE KNIFE still out-performs all other makes. Using Lancaster Knives means fewer knife related problems and greater production per inch of knife-wear at a lesser cost.

Lancaster Knives also has a license to manufacture knives with the Smith API Insert. Use of the Smith API Insert reduces set up time and eliminates the need for Babbitt.
