Segmented cutterheads are becoming quite popular these days but most tools come with traditional straight knives. So it's very likely that at some point you'll be looking to upgrade to a segmented head, and thankfully you don't have to purchase an entirely new machine. Instead, you can just swap out the cutterhead for a new one. The process isn't all that difficult and this video shows you every step as they pertain to a Byrd SHELIX cutterhead and a Powermatic PJ882 8″ Jointer. While your particular brand of tool may vary in the fine details, the concept is the same and I hope this demystifies the process for you.
