The dual head drum sander is a ShopFox. The 20" JET planer has the Byrd Shelix cutter head. I bought that in summer of 2015. The JET table saw I have had since 1999. Quote
John Morris Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 So, is the Byrd Shelix all that it's cracked up to be? I heard it cuts like glass. Quote

John Morris Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 Another on my bucket list, a full sized stationary machine with a Byrd Shelix! Quote

The helix cutter head paired with 24 and 31 feet per minute totally raised my production level. My 15" planer had 16 & 20 fpm. The cutters seemingly last forever. Doing a large reclaimed wood project I was going through 2 sets of HSS knives on my 15" planer per week (just dulling not ruining.) I am 7 months on the first cutting edge still with the carbide cutters. That alone will pay for the machine. John Hechel 1 Quote

The focus will be on layout and function. I have seen some real "dream" shops, but this one, it has been highly functional and productive. Quote
John Moody Posted July 30, 2016 Report Posted July 30, 2016 That is one really nice shop Todd. I love the layout! Quote

I really hit the sweet spot with the size. While it is larger than many hobby shops, as a pro shop it is not very big at all (the wide angle lens makes it look bigger than it is.) But I exercise a lot of discipline and the shop is very efficient, effective, and economical to operate. I still need to get out a good shop tour video. Do to some unexpected events, I had to load up on more work than I had intended this year and that has dampened my plans for video production. John Morris and John Moody 2 Quote
John Morris Posted July 30, 2016 Report Posted July 30, 2016 That's our life story Todd! Unexpected events! Hang in there man, you'll get that video made! Quote
