Specifically, I am looking at switching to a helical head in a powermatic 201 planer - anyone done this? Or similar? Doesn't seem too hard from the research I've done, but someone with first hand knowledge might be able to enlighten me even more...
And also an older Powermatic Model 60 planer - the old green one. Can't find any information whatsoever on how easy/hard it is to change that guy.
Also, does it save trouble to just have byrd install the bearings for you, and then skip the pressing out/pressing on steps? This doesn't require re-shimming or anything does it?
Thanks in advance,
Will
