Including the magnet, and building it into the driver that comes with the planer, is a really nice touch on the manufacturer's part. Or I guess two nice touches, technically. On the not-a-nice-touch side, you would think that, since they have to be off it to install the thing, the helical head would come with the carbide teeth _not_ installed, but nooo. :) Also speaking of nice touches, those jump-cut time lapse sequences must be a royal pain to edit, but I hope you keep doing them. They're sort of becoming your signature.

I gotter Dunn! Your video guided me through the entire process. Fantastic! The two hurdles were pounding that large bearing back in. I didn’t have a socket with a large enough diameter to contact the outer race, so I turned my own hollow punch out of oak on my lathe. It needed to be 1.7” on the outer, with a 7/8” hole down the center. It did the trick! Next was getting the belt back on the pulley. I used a plastic coated pliers handle as a pry against the nut holding the pulley. It took several minutes but I won! This cutter head is pretty awesome. Since they don’t supply any installation instructions, your video was invaluable.

You have to manually engage the top cover safety switch. I noticed the belt walked off the pulley a couple grooves. The problem was the belt had moved on the drive pulley.

Something to consider if you plan on upgrading more than one tool.

I just finished my install this evening. I ran a couple of white oak boards from trees that I fell and had rough cut to 5/4. I am very pleased with the results. As expected, the configuration does put a bit more stress on the motor if one cuts too deep for the board width…aim for no more than half of the printed maximum cut to board width as printed on the plate; if it is bugging down too much, take half of that cut depth you are trying.

@ericwilliams21732 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video, great help! I made a couple of changes, though: I unscrewed the helical gear from the old head while it was still in the planer, then used a wrench socket to drive the bearing out. I installed the gear on the new head before inserting it to make it a little easier to guide it through the bearing seat hole. Also, there's a gap between when the large bearing engages its seat and when the smaller bearing engages, so I cranked the planer up high, put a narrow block of wood in the opening under the head, then lowered the planer until the head was sitting on the block and it looked like the small bearing was lined up with its seat. Then I drove the large bearing into place, making small adjustments to the height as the gap got smaller and I could better see when the alignment was off.

One thing you didn't mention, anyone doing this should make sure to get a socket as close to the size of the hole as possible, the socket needs to be pressing against the outer race of the bearing, if it presses against the inner race or the plastic part where the ball bearings are, there's a higher chance if not a guaranteed chance you'll damage/destroy the bearing.

I used a deep socket to set the new cutter head into place, being careful to not damage the bearings. However, I didn't damage the bearings because the socket I used had an interior section slightly smaller than the shaft where the threads stop. So as I pounded away to set everything into place, I was flatting out the shaft just a tiny bit and the pulley would not go back on the shaft. I had to take a file and remove the damage I had done. I got lucky.
