The Ultimate Planer Upgrade

Global Tooling

I have updated the cutterhead in my planer for the second time, this time with a LUX CUT III Cutterhead from Global Tooling. I had to disassemble much of the drive elements of the planer to take the old straight knife cutterhead out and put the new LUX CUT III cutterhead in. After the new cutterhead was put in, I spent some time tuning up the planer so it cuts very nicely now. The two things that I really like about this new cutterhead are the sound and the ability to plane very thin pieces of stock. The sound of the new cutterhead is slightly quieter than the straight knife cutterhead, but what I really like is that the sound is more pleasing. It's more of a continuous hum and less of a chopping sound. I was able to plane a piece of pine down to about an eighth of an inch which I wasn't able to do before. This is going to be very useful.
