Helical Cutterhead for Delta 22-540 TP300 TP305 12" Thickness Planer

So quite

It’s amazing really quite, easy assembled ,no end snipes ,smooth finish ,should of had it years before ,real good price love it

Best addition ever for the delta portable thickness planer

The spiral cutter head is a fantastic add on for the Delta planer and well worth the money that I spent. The cutting operation is quieter and I have the comfort of knowing that I can quickly change a cutting insert instead of the challenge of replacing and setting the straight blades

Incredible results

So I bought my Delta 22-540 planer off of the original owner and loved it other than the chatter. I had been looking at replacing it with a helical planer, but didn’t want to fork out $800-1500 so I explored the option to clean up, regrease, and replace the cutterhead for my trusty Delta. Out of the box, the new cutterhead felt solid, slightly heavier than the original. I ordered extra blades and the recommended 6Nm torque wrench as well. It only took me 6 hours for disassembly, cleaning, replace cutterhead and reassembly. I was blown away at the quality of the cut, MASSIVE noise reduction, and ease of dust/chip collection compared to my original straight blade. Honestly a little upset with myself for not taking pre/post dB readings, but it’s a marked improvement from before even without measurements.
