thoughts on King KC-12HJPC jointer/planer

Wondering if anyone has tried out the King KC-12HJPC 12 jointer planer with spiral cutter head.
I don't normally buy multi use machines, but because of space and the fact that it can joint a 12" board, sounds appealing to me.

I have never used a spiral or helical cutter head and I see some people comment about the small grooves they leave in the wood surface. Is this an issue?

Hi Dave, all circular heads leave mill marks.

I’ve used Felder and Hammer machines and they work well, their spiral head is nice.

My decision on the J/P boiled down to service, I don’t believe asking provides service???

I really appreciate the capacity and space saving of combination machines.....Rod
