Looking around the web and reading several threads here on the forum about the Byrd Shelix head, I see no mention of the difference in performance but a whole bunch of comments about how frustrating it is to install the cutter with the OEM diameter.
Looking at the Holbren site above, you will see the 2 cutters offered for the DW735.
The smaller cutter assembly fits thru the hole and the OEM diameter does not. The OEM cutter requires removing 40 individual cutters, buying a small inch pound torque wrench and careful fitting of each cutting square.
Help: Please respond only if you have done this conversion.
I am very interested in those who chose the OEM size and had to fit the cutters in place. Those who chose to avoid this additional work I would like to hear how it has performed and if you are satisfied. Also mention if you stumbled on the easier install by luck and not careful choice.
Direction and references to Youtube -- please don't. I have seen and heard my limit there.
Thanks
