I am thinking of upgrading my 8" jointer with a byrd cuterhead .My concern is the quality of the cut for glue ups. I have heard the cut leaves ridges.
THANK YOU
I put a Byrd head my jointer a few years ago. Cuts like a dream and runs real quiet.
It does leave small scallops but not near big enough to cause a problem with a glue up.

I have a 8" general canada jointer.
The install was a snap. I had the new bearings put on at a shop and did the install myself.
I did have to shim on side but now all one has to do is turn the cutters or replace them.
Replacing knives on those machines was not my favourite thing.... To me these heads are a dream.
