Shopfox tools

[nick brigg]

just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Shop Fox 8" jointer and 15" planer with spiral heads? i looked on the website and noticed that the jointer has the square inserts, but the planer was some sorta flexible knife. im mostly looking into the spiral heads because i know how quiet they are, and the less noise for me the better. does the flexible knife act the saem way as the inserts?

My only SF experience is with the cabinet saw. Excellent saw. Sorry I can't help with your interests.
