Hi All,
I am considering replacing the standard cutterhead in my Jet JWP-15 planer with a Shelix head. Aside from the initial cost of the head, is there anything else that I should be aware of when doing the replacement? Do I need to concern myself with replacing bearings, belts or other hardware? Do the Shelix heads come with good instructions? I have looked online, and information about the conversion is somewhat scarce. Also, for those that have done this, how do you find the cut quality to be, compared to a standard straight knife, and how often do you need to rotate or replace the little inserts?
