I just recently picked up a used 2015 General International 80-200LHC 8" helical jointer and am looking to replace the cutters as a bunch are chipped. General refers to it as a "Byrd" style head with 15mm x 15mm x 2.5mm cutters. Looking at the head, it looks a lot like a Lex Cut III.

Since I plan on eventually upgrading my 2022 Craftex CX15 planer to a helical head. I'm wondering if I can use the Lux Cut III carbide cutters on the jointer and when I upgrade the planer, then I only need to keep on type of cutter on hand.

Both are 15mm x 15mm x 2.5mm cutters with a slight radius and use T25 10-32 thread by 1/2" long. The Lux Cut III uses a shouldered bolt instead of the typical tapered bolt. Looking for some input before spending the money on 40 cutter inserts.
