Soft and smooth like a babies...
I put this new helical cutter in my Dewalt planner after one of the original blades came loose and did some damage. It shipped fast and installed easily following several videos. I was up and running in less than 5 days. Wow! The cutter leaves a very smooth finish, even on the slow speed. It cost less than some of the other better known brands available. Definitely worth it.

Best planner up grade
Got this for my DeWalt DW 734 and it's a game-changer! Made over 20 hardwood boards with minimal snipe and a silky finish. Arrived in just seven days and was easy to install with a YouTube guide. Thrilled with the quality and price—highly recommend!

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.

These Domino tenon cutters are fantastic!
I'm absolutely stoked with these cutters, i've been making over sized tenons for my Festool Domino, and they are great! Terrific value.

Top Performance, Surprising Value
Upgraded my planer with FindBuyTool's helical cutter head after great YouTube reviews. Arrived quickly, well-packed with extra tools and inserts. Initial tests show quieter operation and improved dust collection. Installation could be easier with better instructions.
