I recently picked this up .It is an import product . I want to put a helical head in it . has anyone done this and have info or advice . Any info on the planer at all .Thankyou

Is it Eagle or Enco? Either way it's likely the same classic 4 post design and putting a Helical head in it would be the same as a powermatic, Jet, grizzly, etc.

There's a good tutorial on Byrd's website.

If you are committed to the rebuild anyway, pull it and send it to them. You will have to pull it anyway.

Post a picture of the machine, I can most likely tell you if it's the same as the other machines mentioned.

Also, there was a company called Eagle Machinery that was an importer of machines like I believe Aganazzi and maybe Inca so maybe they did their own private label deal with an Asian factory. Don't know but worth a call if you can find their info.
