I started wood working a couple of years ago. I started with a dewalt 735 and a 6" Ridgid. Both are good tools. I ended up selling both and getting a 12" Jet J/P with a helical head. The Jet is just...

The soonest he could show it to me is next Saturday at 0900. I got a truck, trailer, engine hoist, misc lashing/straps and cash. Should be good to go. Waiting sucks.

I appreciate all the good advice. I emailed the seller last night. No phone number provided. Hopefully, I can go see it later today or tomorrow.

I read the threads about the different feed rates... I thought I would go ahead anyway. I am considering the spiral head with the individual cutters. Like this one,...

I looked at grizzly. Their 12" cutter won't fit my machine. Which is bummer because its $300 cheaper.

I own a Jet JJP-12. I would like to upgrade to a spiral cutter. I have found shelixheads.com and holbren.com. Has anyone ordered from these sites and had a good experience. Any other recommendations...
