Hopefully this video works. I know that for some reason it's sideways, but you'll be able to see/hear the Byrd Shelix in action.

Justin, it does make a difference in noise and definitely an improvement in the cut quality. Guess I will look into it as my planer is still in excellent condition even though it has planned several thousand feet of hard woods. I do like how the cherry planned out in your machine. I'm sure it improved the ripple effect you get from the cutter chatter too.
Thanks for sharing your results.
It made a huge difference. There was absolutely no tear out at all on the Cherry, which is a problem with straight knives and a pain to try to sand 1/8 inch to get it out or chuck a piece of lumber. The best thing is that you can feed a panel that's been glued up and again, no tear out at all. I have read up on other machines with a spiral head, but I've read that theirs isn't set at a shearing angle like the Byrd's is. It is an expensive upgrade, but I have a feeling it will pay for itself in ease of use and not having to sharpen knives.
Nice! It's still on my "someday" list! Do you remember ever hearing a rattling noise on your DeWalt 735? Mine makes a noise when it spins down after I shut it off. Sounds to me like something is loose but on inspection everything seems fine. I can't tell if it is coming from the cutter head or the blower.
Hey Jason, I don't recall that noise that you're talking about. It could be a bearing going bad? I have no idea my friend.

Finally installed a 4" dust collection system in my shop. I'd like to find a 4" collection port for my Kreg router table (PRS1045) fence. Anybody know where I can find such an animal or one that can be modified to fit?Thanks!Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
