    after market helical cutterhead for planer

    I have a Jet 15" planer with three HSS knives. It is in good working order. Even so, I'm itching to move up to a helical cutterhead. Should I do this as an aftermarket upgrade of just the cutterhead (cost: ~$700) or would I be wise to get a new Powermatic planer with helical cutterhead (cost...

    Byrd Shelix Cutterhead

    Grizzly has a sale on the Shelix cutterheads. I know they retrofit well for their jointers, but I have an 8" Bridgewood and they do have a "generic" Shelix cutterhead for it. But I have read stories where getting the bearings onto the new cutterhead has been a bear for some folks. I would...

    Cutterhead spring

    I recently bought a used 8" jointer. The knives needed changing. This is my first trying this task. While taking the old knives out I noticed that one knife had no springs in the holes. Either I lost them or they were missing when I started. I was wondering where do I go to get replacement...

    Byrd cutterhead installation on Grizzly 0490 jointer

    I just installed a Byrd cutterhead in my G0490 jointer & thought it might help someone if I documented the expereince. It is not difficult but neither Grizzly or Byrd has written instructions. Removing the cutterhead is easy as the out/infeed tables lower easily to access the head and allow...
