It was time to upgrade the straight knives in my 6" Ridgid Jointer to the Lux Cut iii Helical Head that I ordered from www.mywoodcutters.com
The installation was super easy and the benefits of the Helical head will be amazing for years to come. If you're thinking about making the upgrade, I say go for it.

Just ordered this jointer. I plan on the same upgrade.

Just finished assembling my jointer and my helical head is sitting in the box right next to it right now. Excellent timing.

I don’t have a jointer but after listening to shop sounds I have been thinking about going with this setup. Great video, Nick!

Really enjoyed your video on your Helical; head cutter, i've put off doing this to mine because I thought it would reduce the power of the machine, I guess not? Great concise explanation and glad it reduced your noise too.

@KeyWoodworks 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! It can reduce the power a little bit I’d say just take a smaller cut!

Great video Nick. I don't have a jointer yet but I'll definitely consider helical head options when I do.

For sure get a helical head! Thanks for watching!

I'm lucky enough to be picking this jointer up for 100 bucks used, this videos a great resource to upgrade the jointer sooner than later. I'm also curious how you put together your caster base

I have this same jointer. Doesn't matter how well you clean it wood chips always falling out.

Any setup issues/difficulties when setting the blades on the new cutter to the outfeed table, or was it simply plug and play?

@revwayne6168 10 ай бұрын

the bearing blocks for the cutter head are different size from one another. Which bearing block is reattached to the belt end of the cutterhead?

@josb4161 2 жыл бұрын

Great explanation in how to.. 👍👍👍👍 Did the outfeed table have to be adjusted since knives are no longer used. I have the same jointer and not excited about installing knives..

@KeyWoodworks 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, the outfeed did have to go up slightly but that’s a quick adjustment.

I just bought one of the lux heads for my jointer. Was yours slightly smaller than 6” wide?

Noise is the reason you dropped $500 on a new head. I hope your mind gets changed after you get it set up

So you agree, Nicks are annoying, right? Especially in a jointer knife.
