I ordered a Shelix head for my DW735 planer. After placing the order, I wondered if spending that much money upgrading a machine that is at least 10 years old made sense. I am unsure of when I bought the machine but it was within a year or two of when they were introduced.

There does not seem to be much information available on the typical lifespan of this excellent tool. Have many members worn out one of these yet?

Thanks
David
