Love your 50 year-old Powermatic machine !! They were built to LAST, that's for sure !! Enjoyed watching you install your new spiral cutting head, Mark !!
I installed one in my 8 inch grizzly jointer. Had to purchase a larger bearing block on the side opposite of the drive side and a new pulley for the larger shaft. It was soo worth the headache. That thing cuts smoooth. Can't wait till I get one for the planer.
Better is always better and I thought I heard the Bus Motor wanting to get in on the action but is resigned for later on. Good deal, Mark and a fine job of offbearing! God Bless!
Interesting, mine was from about 5 years ago and it required a diamond shaped cutter for rabbet cutting. Byrd is always improving their product. Cuts better and quieter as well. Great video.
Really enjoy the shop videos. I always manage to pick up a useful tip or two. A 50/50 or 2/3-1/3 split with the sawmill would work for me. Betcha pick up a bunch more subscribers too. Shop hounds always seem to be looking for fresh content.
NIIIIIICCCE ! ,... oh my friend ,your a woodworker ......never be afraid to try and sharpen your blades ,...its not often very hard and a sharp tool will make working less like work,...jigs are your friend , Mike
Best upgrade Ive done on my jointer. Will be doing it on the DW735 planer I have once the knives I have are all dull. I only have a 6" Delta jointer. Knives arent crazy expensive, but I got tired of getting them sharpened and then getting them adjusted perfectly.
@@markgalicic7788 I have buddy that has a high quality 8" jointer with a spiral cutter. When my little 4" Craftsman is too small for a job, I go to his shop!
the old one are much better than new one's good video looks like you are trying for john osha award. if i had a you tube channel i sure i would get one too. take care, be safe and well.
thats great that its made for that jointer...great job Mark..i got two jointers,,a six and a eight...love that head style..you cant beat old tools for sure...just like cars,,made heavy,,haa you got a great shop Mike...great video
Hi Scott, could you kindly let me know did the PM50 and PM60 use the same size cutterhead ? PM160 and PM180 are same size planer but manufactured in different age?
@@csptooling the pm 50 is a 6 inch jointer, while the pm60 is an 8 inch. The pm160 is a 16 inch planer, while the pm180 is an 18 inch planer. So all gour use a different cutterhead. I bought the pm50 and pm160 together a couple years ago, they ran me about 2400.
Great video Mark. That spiral head cutter does much better job than the one with the knives in, it sounds better and cut's much smoother than the old one. I'm looking forward to seeing more work shop videos. Any update on the kiln progress. Take care.
Mark, going through this same process, how hard do you want to tighten the bolts going into the cutter head? If I snug them up the cutter head doesn’t turn as freely (by hand)
Nice upgrade, Mark. I've considered this for my old Jet 6" jointer but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. That would be triple the original price of the machine. Bill
Best investment you can make in a jointer or planer. When you going to do that planer behind you? $4500. I have a 20" Powermatic planer with one..They do require more power so you can't hog off as much.
@@csptooling reason it needs more is because there is at least 1 knife continually sliding wood. I’m a little surprised also. Before spiral head I could take 1/2” in one pass now only 1/4”. One would rarely take that much tho.
New rookies should always be taught to work with safety equipment (push boards, feed devices, ect.) until they get the "feel" of their equipment. Even then for legal reasons cautions should be given, such as "do as I say not as I do," because this is inherently not safe.

Buy yourself a pack of spare carbide insert screws they manage to loose themselves with monotonous regularity on a lathe god alone knows how many you could loose when there are 5 times however many inserts across. McMaster Karr et al sell them.
You do know you are not supposed to pound a bearing on to install , it puts dents on the balls and races and first causes noise and second it severely limits bearing life.
@@markgalicic7788 yes and it slides over the outer race of the bearing , you transfer the load from the cap through the outer race to the balls then to the inner race and place dents on all contact points.
@@markgalicic7788 when you install to a bearing you need to support he race the load is first transferred through . The best process would be to install the bearings to the bearing holder and press through the outer race, this way no load is transferred through the balls and raceways. Once that is successfully installed you than press the inner race to the shaft . Hence no load is put through the ball races. You can look through the standards in the “Machinery Handbook “ which is over 90 years old and constantly updated and the process is spelled out.

Thanks for sharing this info, Mark !!
thanks John , this will be a great upgrade for sure.
Thanks Mark. Good seeing you in your workshop, probably warmer for you too. Stay safe out there and enjoy yourself. Peace brother
I put a Shelix head in my planer a few years ago, and I love it.
you will LOVE the output of that blade
I like it can't wait to use it.
The sawmill videos are always awesome. But the change up is very cool too. Thanks mark.
I have this very machine. So happy to find this excellent video.

That is an impressive cutter head, I like the carbide inserts they will stay sharp a long time. Keep smilin
You will enjoy the spiral cutterhead. I bought a thickness planer last December that's got the helical head. I love it.
I like seeing the maintenance and other related videos that helps show what it takes to keep the operation moving along. Thanks for sharing!
I am glad that you like your upgrade. I am not much of a wood worker but I always appreciate a job that is well done. Good to see you.
thanks Alan , BOOM!
Nice job Mark . That joiner is living the dream.
thanks Mike.
My wife and I enjoyed seeing you at the Paul Bunyan show. ( from David and Catrina}
Looks like a very good upgrade.
yes for sure , can't wait to use it on a project.

@@markgalicic7788 Do you hve some plan to buy from other place for lower price but good quality shear cutterhead ?
Could you tell me did it use the standard 6'' shelix cutterhead ? Or have different size ?
@@CorwinBos Thanks so much man
Hey Mark! Like I wasn't already envious enough of your Powermatic, now I'm really green!!!!
I should have done this sooner well worth the money!

Nice! We will be expecting some videos of using this in cabinet(or whatever) production!
yes for sure!
Hi Mark, those cutterheads are awesome. I have the 6 inch pm50 with one and a pm160 from the 1960's with one. Wouldn't buy any other cutterhead.

Changed mine 8 months ago. I love it, I'm sure you do also
Great to see the other parts of your operation....
glad you liked it.
Nice upgrade.
thanks Gavin.

nice informative video mark,my boy is making a gun cabinet out of walnut this would have helped out a lot
Nice upgrade Marc!
I've never had a chance to work with that style of cutter head. Hope you'll do a review on it after some use. I've heard only good comments on them.
Spiral cutterhead is the only way to fly!
The trend.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
like those old tools. thats like my shop tools and me old. but at least the tools are good.
Mark, going through this same process, how hard do you want to tighten the bolts going into the cutter head? If I snug them up the cutter head doesn’t turn as freely (by hand)
Nice setup, how about a video on making a wood mallet.
Great job buddy
thanks tony , I hope to use it on a project soon.
Nice upgrade, Mark. I've considered this for my old Jet 6" jointer but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. That would be triple the original price of the machine.
Bill
Did the Jet 6" jointer very expensive?
@@csptooling I bought it 35 years ago.
@@williamellis8993 A lot people told me old cast iron machine works better than new machines now. A cutterhead is more than 235 USD ?
@@csptooling $445 USD
@@williamellis8993 We supply that size at half price.
Do you plan any more log-to-cabinet videos, like you did with Joe's bar?
Very interesting 👌 👍 🤔 😊 😊🌎🌞
Nice cutter head. I think you could use it instead of the planer sometimes, like if you only had one piece to plane. Maybe?
thanks Jeff , you still need the planer for thickness .

@@billboy7390 Thanks so much for letting me know this Bill, it's very very useful.
I have one just like it and I want to change to shelix too.
very easy to change but not easy on the wallet!
@@markgalicic7788 Did this very expensive to purchase ?
I have a 1999 Delta 4inch. Hard to change
I never seen a 4" delta.
Never saw 4'' jointer before, I thought the smallest size is 6''
I have an old Craftsman planner and they do not make a Helix for it.
