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.

1st impression when you hold this attachment in your hand: "not much to it", Kreg sure is makin' $$ here.
Then I installed it.. perfect fit, leaves just enough room to adjust the setting screw on my K4.
Then the real test, hook…
