Byrd shelix cutterhead for DW735 planer on amazon right now for $207 - insane price!

I also have a 13" delta. I believe they use the same blades

nice, now save up for a few more and get the helical cutters, totally worth it https://www.amazon.com/Byrd-Tool-Shelix-cutterhead-Dewalt/dp/B008CS2QAE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526271684&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Yeah, that would have made sense, but at this point I really just wanted a turnkey solution - I was getting pretty burnt out on the project. I like the planer a lot. The blades that come with it leave a lot to be desired, but you can get a number of upgrades for that: high speed steel, or the crazy helix style with replaceable blades if you have disposable income.
The one and only upgrade I would absolutely do every time is a digital readout like this one I got from Rockler, which makes the machine 10000000% more precise.
Amazon has the Dewalt 735x for $544.59. The X is the one with the in/outfeed tables and an extra set of blades. It is a very good thickness planer. There is also a third party helical head for it.

actually, we're both wrong. it's $106 for a pair.
oh and here is a shelix head for your Hitachi F1000 coming in at $517
Now you need one of these:

Oh yeah I'm sure he does. That probably makes all the difference in this kind of stuff. I've done endgrain with my dad's Ryobi planer with 2 flat blades and it works ok. Lots of tear out on the back end of course. I've got my eye on this with this sexy beast. mmmmmfff...
For only double the price! http://www.amazon.com/Byrd-Tool-Shelix-cutterhead-Dewalt/dp/B008CS2QAE/
Wife bought me a Byrd head for mine after one magically appeared on her wishlist ($340 on Amazon). Holy shmokies I didn't think that something that worked so well already could be THAT MUCH better. I haven't had an upgrade on anything ever make that much difference. Add that to your list. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008CS2QAE/?coliid=I2JHDA29KV3K9L
Looks like there are still third-party blades for it.
The DW7352-2 pack contains two sets of knives (6 knives).
$78/2 == $39
$78 bucks for a two pack, not bad.

Yup, that's the one I was looking at but I'm interested in seeing if there are other options. Have you ever used the Powertec blades?
Sure thing.
