I just bought the new Grizzly G0586 jointer and was wondering if anyone has seen the new 15" spiral head planer??? I am interested in this machine...

No, but I did see a 15" planer run last week with an aftermarket helical head. Very impressive cut in figured wood. Plus low noise.
I'm leaning toward carbide inserts.

I am too leaning towards the carbide insert cutter head... I can live without it on my jointer but the planer, that will be a dream come true!!! I think it will be a much easier task to change or in fact rotate inserts than change and adjust knives... Time well spent in my opinion!!!

Never seen nor heard of the Tersa retrofits... I'll have to do a little research on them... Thanks...

Hey Rob,
I think some of our "common friends" saw the planer at the AWFS woodworking show in Las Vegas this summer.
