The byrd head arrived for my jointer today. I already have the old head out and just have to take it into work to press the bearings off during lunch. Unless I can get some nice Timken replacement bearing cheap.

It is a very beautiful head. I'll take pics tomorrow as I install it for you guys to see the process of how the head comes in and out of a jointer. Most of them are made very similar. I know the thought of taking out your jointer head may be daunting to some folks.

Thanks,

John

"lectrical" that ought to be interesting. Does that involve burying a drop cord from your neighbors house while their at work?

I just finished the jointer head install and the writeup on my website. Here is the page.
http://www.jsrwoodworking.com/jointe...verinstall.htm

I hope it helps folks who might be considering an upgrade. Most jointers are very similar so my instructions should help out. It only took about 2 hours total time.



Thanks,

John

Looks like you installed it crooked.


Congrats on the new upgrade. Bet it will make a difference in the cut quality.
