    Looking for comments regarding a Dewalt planer upgrade to either 

    helix or spiral cutter heads. Which brand did you choose and what might have you done didifferently?

    I did the Selix.  It’s been great  amazing finish especially if you take a fine finishing cut. Install weren’t well. Took a couple hours. Lots of steps. I got a washer in the wrong location and it created a lot of vibration. Got it straightened out and all vibration is gone. I think it’s worth doing

    my thought process was why double the cost of my dewalt 13, when I could get a bigger sized machine with a helix and a lot more adjustabliity so i can tune it.
