I’m looking at a used G0500 8” jointer that was upgraded to a spiral cutterhead. The current owner is selling off his dad’s equipment and has very little information about it but a close up photo of the cutterhead makes me think it’s a Byrd Shelix (think I see a curve to the carbide cutters). He wants $500 and I’m waffling. My current jointer is a 6” Craftsman and it’s a definite upgrade.
Should I pull the trigger?
