I have a older Powermatic 15 inch planer and am thinking about a spiral cutter for it. The Byrd head from Grizzley is $695 plus shipping and about $200 for installation and bearings. So around $900 total. I just got an email from Grizzley that the G0453Z with spiral cutter head is now available with free shipping for $1795. My question. Is the Powermatic that much better a machine to justify a $900 investment. Or is the brand new Grizzley with warantee a good enough quality machine to spend the extra money and go new.
