Description

About Product: The overall cutterhead diameter is 0. 088" (roughly 1/16 in) smaller than the original OEM head to allow for installation without removing the carbide inserts. The ORIGINAL SHEar & heLIX and spiral cutter non-grind design. Woodworkers know that a shear cut is far better than a straight cut. You also know that a stagger cut is much better than just a single straight knife and is a lot easier on your dust collection system. If you just happen to plane a nail or staple, it is not necessary to replace expensive knives the full length of your planer head. Replace 2 or 3 small inexpensive knives and you are ready to go. The SHELEX is extremely quiet compared to other blades.

    • Watch the entire Chris Wong YouTube installation videos before installing this cutterhead - well worth the time
I would give it a 4.5 star rating, but opted to give it the 5. The cutterhead did not arrive with the promised 2 day Prime shipping, but that is not the fault of the product or manufacturer. It is packed really well, and arrived undamaged. I watched a YouTube video by Chris Wong on how to install the cutterhead, and he did a very good job. The only change in his directions I would make is to list the tools needed to install the cutterhead at the start of the video, rather than at the end of part 3. If he did list the tools, and I missed it, I apologize. I did not have a 24mm socket, so I had to run to the orange big box store to get one. I did not have the trouble removing the snap rings that Mr. Wong had, and I used special snap ring pliers from the old staple store that used to have its tools proudly made in the USA, but they no longer are. Their brand of snap ring pliers worked like a charm. I watched the 3 part video almost entirely (I didn't watch the part listing the needed tools), before starting the process, and I watched on an iPad as I was doing the switch. His instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I congratulate him. The cutter head leaves the smallest snipe I have experienced with a planer, and I haven't tried to do anything about it. My first planed boards had a sharp edge on the planed surface from a cutter that I don't think was set well at the factory (prompting the 4.5 star rating, if it were offered). It was easy enough to determine which cutter was cutting a hair deeper than the others, and I took it off, using the supplied driver, cleaned the cutter, and replaced it. My subsequent cuts were as smooth as I could ever want them to be. It took me about an hour to take out the old cutterhead and replace it with the Shelix, and i did not work at a fast pace, at all. I would guess I spent about 5 minutes trying to find one of the springs that popped off onto my shop floor. There are two instances where you have to remove a lever which, by a spring, keeps tension on of the chain drives. I think I knocked off one of the springs when I was whacking the old cutterhead, to loosen it. It would be good to go ahead and remove the springs entirely, and just replace them when finishing the installation. I am happy with the installation and quality of the cut, once I cleaned one of the cutters. The determination of which cutter was the culprit, cleaning it, and replacing it, took less than five minutes. I then planed some end grain red oak, and can not wish for a better surface. The Shelix is expensive, but for its relative quietness and quality of cut, I think it is a great upgrade. ... show more

    • A happy Shelix owner twice!
It's here! My DeWalt planer is complete! A few months ago I began reading about the Shelix cutter heads and was very intrigued. Finally I took the plunge and ordered a cutter head for my 20+ year old Jet jointer. Upon receiving the cutter head I found it easy to install and was blown away by the smooth cut and seemingly increased power of my jointer. This experience led me to purchase a new DeWalt 13" planer and a matching Shelix cutter head. I waited patiently for the cutter head to arrive, and continued to read articles and reviews about it. I began to get a bit worried after reading several less than glowing reviews that said the cutter head left scallops and lines on the wood. Well, the cutter head arrived yesterday and I went to work installing it after work today. First, watch the utube videos by Chris Wong and he will walk you through the entire process. It took right at 90 minutes to change out the cutter heads. Upon completion I hooked everything up and ran my first piece of hardwood through the planer. Amazing! The DeWalt planer is somewhat loud due to the type motor it uses, and when you use the OEM steel knives it is excessively loud (my wife who wears hearing aids could hear me planing a piece of pine almost 100 feet away with the shop doors closed). When I fired up the planer and ran hardwood through it I couldn't tell at first if it was even cutting. I took twice the depth of cut as what I did in the pine and the machine didn't sound any louder nor did is bog down. The wood came out. So smooth you wouldn't need to sand it. I looked everywhere for the scallops and lines and they weren't there. The only thing I could wish for is that DeWalt just got off the dime and offered the Shelix as a factory installed option. If you are considering a Shelix for your machine just get one, you will be amazed. Update. As of July 22, 2015 I have planned several hundred linear feet of maple using this cutterhead and still have not encountered the complaints listed in some of the other reviews. The head cuts so smooth that some of the planed stock actually tends to stick together when to pieces are stacked one on top another. I still don't get the issue with the Shelix cutterhead being marginally smaller in diameter than the OEM cutterhead. I have yet to encounter a feeding problem on the DeWalt planer due to the cutterhead diameter. I can only say that I am thrilled with both Shelix cutterheads I've purchased and will continue to recommend them to other woodworkers. Update 2, November 27, 2015: the original cutters are still going strong. I have now planned over 1000 linear feet of hardwood and the finished surface after planning is still superb. The latest project used Bubinga and Chechen, both very dense woods, both looked like glass after planning. I have encountered the planer slowing down on wide boards due possibly to the roller pressure, however, I use Bostick Top Cote (called something else now but same product) and after applying this to the table the feed sped back up to normal; the moral here is to keep the table slicked up. Still love my Shelix cutter head and my DeWalt planer. ... show more
