Are Shelix heads worth the cost?
I'm relatively new to woodworking and someone brought up adding a Shelix head to a table top planer I may buy. I looked up Shelix heads and now I know what they are. I also know it would be $450 for the Shelix head, almost as much as the Dewalt 735 planer itself. All together it would be around $1100 including tax.
My question is if this is worth buying. By this I basically mean that I have the money to afford one, but I'm wondering how much of an advantage it gives and if I would be better off buying a better planer for $1100 without a shelix head?
I'm a hobbiest by the way, this is not for commercial use
