Byrd Tool SHELIX Mid Size Moulder Series

Woodworkers know that a shear cut is far better than a straight cut. You also know that a staggered cut is much better than just a single straight knife and is a lot easier on your dust collection system. If you happen to plane a nail or staple, it is not necessary to replace expensive knives the full length of your planer head. Replace 2 or 3 inexpensive knives and you're ready to go. You might expect to pay a small fortune for a journal head with these features, but with Byrd Tool Corp, we can manufacture a journal head to your specifications for typically a fraction of the cost you might expect.    
          
SHELIX - shear, helical, staggered, insert tool Proudly Made in the USA!

     *TIP: When replacing or rotating inserts, the seat should be as clean as possible. This will prevent breakage of inserts and ensure proper insert alignment. To properly align the insert, press the insert away from the seat while tightening to approximately 55 inch pounds of torque. This allows the countersink in the tip and the taper of the head on the flathead screw to slide the tip into its proper position.
