The good news is I love the ShopFox 1724 15" planer I've got with it's spiral head (spiral with three knives, NOT individual helical inserts).

Unfortunately I just broke a knife and tore off a screw head on a piece of hickory. I'm having a hard time locating a set of replacement knives and a few extra screws on the web. I'd sure appreciate it if anyone could point me in towards a source. Thanks!

Just bought a set off of Amazon for $69 for a powermatic 15S planer.

Thanks, I did run across a few sets of replacement knives for the PM 15S, including that one and the Jet tools 708816 15 inch set on Amazon. I did check the WoodstockInt/Shopfox site and did not find anything. Is there a link I'm missing? Short of that I might get on the phone tomorrow. If I run across anything useful I'll post it.

Two follow up questions:

- will the powermatic 15" spiral blades for a 3" cutterhead fit the shopfox?

- any idea where I can get an extra package of screws (an extra knife holder that takes three screws might also be needed as it might be slightly bent)

Thanks!
