Default Spiral Cutter for Planer

Does anyone make a spiral cutter that would fit the Delta DC-380 15" planer?

I read an artical recently that said how great the cutters were, and that
they are available for virtually any planer now. Is there one out there for
this bad boy machine, and if so, any idea where to buy it?

Check out http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/FULLPR...ARTNUM=120-047

Says it fits Woodtek and Jet 15" planers. I would not be surprised if it
also fits the Delta, as both the Jet and Delta were similar last I looked.

Rather expensive ($795) but:

At least it's available. I'm looking at replacing the head on my jointer.
It's twenty inches wide and the price will be more than $2000 if they can
do it. I have babbitt bearings on this old monster.

I think that qualifies as a driveby...

The 20" sure...
But I'd call the $2000 for "new jointer 'blades'" a liability.

Now, if I just knew whut a Bruce Babbit Bearing wuz...

That would seem to be for the head assembly replacement - a one time cost.

For me, the incremental cost would have to factor in a change of address.
I'm completely out of space.

Patriarch,

Thank you all for the good info.

While I expected them to be expensive, $795 USD is a bit rich for cutter
head for me - with shipping & duty, etc., it would actually be cheaper for
me to replace the planer every time my knives got dull. Hahhahah!


Thanks for the help anyhow - good to know they're available.
