Astounding, Steve. How thin a flitch will it do at that quality?

It must thrust the material laterally against the fence as well, eh?
Will the inserts index themselves when rotated? Or does it go back to
the manufacturer for an insert change?

it only costs 370.00 (G) or only 195 for a hand powered jointer.

It wrinkled up that maple, now you're going to have to iron it.
Looks good, though.

So! after you iron the wrinkles off the maple does it become ironwood?

In that picture I can see lines parallel to the long edges. Are they
noticable in real life too? My griz spiral does that, but they're
only noticable when looking at the right angle in a favorable light.

Loverly. OK, show of hands, who else went up and looked at the
whole directory of pics?

yes it does like a hand planed surface. not really a issue though.

no sideways pressure. it cuts a bit slow compared to regular knives though.
they index on their own. a 1/4 turn and you have a fresh surface again.

So if it does leave small lines then the surface must be sanded, so what's
the advantage of this cutterhead?

Could you please send me that piece of Maple so I can look at the
jointer finish a little closer?

It's probably much easier to scrape or sand the small lines than horrendeous
tear-out.

Steve, are you going to offer a spiral cutterhead in your planes?

and a regular head leaves ripples. because it cuts without tearout and lasts a
log time between rotating the cutters. plus it does endgrain great. Plus it is
very easy to change the cutters. You don't have to re setup your machine.

I don't think I have seen a cooler piece of maple. though it is almost wasted on
a plane as the grain does not show as well on smaller things.

Nah, that's ok... I hand planed my workbench top, and my elbows ached
for days. Besides, how is hand jointing tropicals going to make me
squint one eye and smoke a pipe?
