I took the cash from my last saw milling job and splurged for the new spiral/helix cutting head for my Woodmaster 718 planer.   All I can say is WOW !  What a difference. Almost no noise while planing.   The planer actually rattles making more noise when I'm not planing than when I run a board under the new cutter head.   It is soooooo quiet.   And the surface on the boards is really smooth.   I can't believe I waited so long to do this. 

Expensive, but worth it.

And here I haven't gotten around to sharpening my old blades and installing my new motor in my old Trade Master planer yet. :D

Yeah I would really like to have one of the byrd heads but one for my planer is $4795 :o.  Just cant do that for the cutterhead when I only paid $1,000 for the planer.  I may put one in my jointer (12") at some time though.

It is nice.  I installed one a year or so ago and have really been pleased with the result.

BTW, I finally got around to adding the Wixey indicator.   We can compare notes at the piggy party.  ;)

How do you like the Wixey compared to the other one?

There is no comparison - the Wixey is far superior!
