Byrd Shelical...how difficult is it to install these on the following:
Powermatic 15S Planer?
Powermatic PJ-882 Parallelogram 8" Jointer?
Delta (X5) DJ20 Jointer?
I use primarily highly figured woods like Quilted Mahogany,
Figured Bubinga, Curly Maple etc.
While I have been working with wood for many decades, and am fairly
handy with my hands, I do not have very much experience with
power tools. How much time does it take; how difficult;
special tools needed...? I am good at following directions...
I would prefer to purchase the above, then order the Byrd Shelicals
(back-ordered...) and install at a later date. The second option
would be for me to order the Bridgewood 8" Shelical Jointer and the Bridgewood 15" Shelical planer. These are available with either
the Byrd Shelical OR WITH Wilke's "Imported" Shelicals....the
Wilke tech and Sales-Reps both told me that their imported Shelicals
were "every bit a good as the Byrd Shelicals"....I am not sure if they are saying this because the Imported Shelicals are exact copies, or because the Byrd's are back-ordered....
So many things to think about...
