You’ll need it to get the cutterhead to turn at this point probably, ha.

Geeze,
I was contemplating making a barter offer for an old Oklahoma Joe grill that I have setting out back. You guys have probably ruined the deal for me!

Couple shots of WD-40 and should be good to go

I think that it's just a typo...
The decimal point needs to be moved 3 or 4 spaces to the left.

Then there is this one...

I've never seen a cutter head like this:

How would you even sharpen that?

Also look up “helical cutter head,” which is what Whitney called them.

Someone listed a Whitney with that cutterhead today and I thought of this thread!

There’s also an old thread on here talking about helical cutter heads:

HELICAL VS: SPIRAL CUTTER HEAD

I'm going to be buying a 15" planer, probably Grizzly. There are 2 models, one with a spiral cutter head and one with a helical cutter head. I'm looking to see what the difference in cut quality is, if any, between the two. Does either spiral or helical stand out as giving a smoother cut with...

That saying made it over to the people that worked with machinery. "It was working when taken out of service".
