I purchased a Sunhill 15" planner and added the HELIX cutter head.
This is the replaceable tooling type not the bendable knives. Curly
maple through the planer with NO blowout.
3hp, 220v, 1phase

Planer $825
Cutterhead $695
Installation $150 (They change the gearbox)
Shipping $100

It was worth every penny!

I am planning on upgrading my 12" planer to a 15" and want to keep it under
$2000. The Powermatic 15" spiral head looks good. Anyone know anything
about it or have recommendations about other brand"
