Looking at the Grizzly website it says "indexable carbide inserts". To me
it sounds like there is a detente that would allow them to be easily
aligned. Seems a whole lot easier than changing 4 traditional knives and
getting them all aligned (something I still haven't attempted on my G0500
even though it is probably time.)

Yeah, I've seen the Grizzly spiral cutterhead, and those blades aren't
difficult to rotate. Though I doubt they can be sharpened, which to
me, is a downside. So, you get 4 rotations and then discard. I
prefer the standard knives that can be sharpened. And, if you desire,
you can always by a set of carbide jointer knives.

I just bought the G0500 myself. Gave some serious thought to the
spiral cutterhead version beforehand, but in the end opted for the
knives.
