Installing a byrd shelix cutterhead in my vintage jointer was an upgraded I've been planning to do eventually. But after throwing a knife from the old clamshell, I decided it was a sooner rather than later kind of upgrade! Then I realized I'd also need to install a new motor, new mount.. this project kept growing. But man, does my jointer cut nice now!
