[Woodworkers] 15" Planer

Quieter, no tearout. Carbide inserts last a long time. Easy to replace one if you get a nick.

What's the advantages of the helical head over  regular blade?

Thank you Dave.  I have heard lots of good things about the Grizzlys.  I have had very good luck with the Jet line and the local dealer will deliver it and set it up at no extra charge.  Pretty good when you consider it is over 300 pounds.

Doug,

I have an older Jet that I put a helical head on, it was an amazing transformation :)  When I bought mine the only option was infeed and outfeed rollers, they did not have the solid infeed/outfeed extensions.  I get a fair amount of snipe and based on some research and my observation of the board feeding through the planer I am pretty certain the rollers are contributing to the problem.  When it gets bad enough I spend half a day trying to get the rollers aligned again, even though it is almost impossible to get them perfect.  So if they still offer the rollers my suggestion is to not get them, get the solid extensions.  With that said there are allot of people that like the Grizzly.  I had researched the Grizzly when I bought my Jet and had pretty much determined they were the exact same machine.  I went with the Jet to support a local tool supplier.  I still prefer to support the local guy but when we start talking the cost of these things now I would go with the one that I can get the most bang for my buck on.

Good evening all,

Sometime in April, I plan on getting a 15” planer with the helical head.  Been thinking of the Jet 15”.  Would any of you have recommendations of other planers you like?  Needs to be non-benchtop.
