I've been eyeing the spiral cutter heads on some of grizzly's jointers

much more expensive. Does anyone have one of these machines and would
you say that it was worth the extra expense?


if you do a lot of figured woods or work a lot of tropicals they can be.
tropicals plane better then domestic woos but they dull the blades faster.

My son uses one in the shop where he works. The little cutter heads are
4 sided and when they get dull, they get a couple of technicians to come
in and rotate all the cutters 1/4 turn. It takes hours to do it right
and hours=dollars.
