Just something to add when people are looking for spiral heads or tearout issues. Straight off the G0490X jointer and G0453Z planer:

188371 188372 188373

My knifed machines would have had this board for lunch.

Glenn.

I feel for ya', buddy. That looks terrible.

Let ME help YOU.

Let's meet, and swap planers. You're a talented and productive woodworker. You should NOT be hamstrung by inferior machinery.

You know...I'm thinking that in order to be fair here, you need to send me a few similar boards so that I can work them on my machines.

I promise to post pictures for comparison purposes.

Wow! I was immediately thinking about what I could make from those boards, then remembered that they are not mine.....

Good to know! I just got my Byrd Shelix head for my Griz 15" the other day and have a bunch of curly maple to go through.
