Customer Reviews
I upgraded my Jointer to a carbide helical cutter head several years ago, and it is one of the best things I have ever done. I have wanted to do the same to my planer, but I wasn’t sure it was worth the expense and trouble. Then I came across some You Tube videos about this cutter head from FindBuyTool. It had some great reviews, and the price was in my budget so I gave it a try.
This head has 56, 4 sided, carbide inserts on a true helical 12 1/2 inch head. They even included 4 extra inserts, as well as two Allen head drivers for installing the inserts. Everything was packed very well, and arrived within one week of my order being placed. I have not used it on a project yet, but my initial testing looks very good. I had to do some adjustment of my tables to reduce some leading edge snipe, but the quality of the cut is very good. It is noticeably quieter, and the dust collection has improved tremendously due to the smaller chip size.
The most difficult part of the installation is seating the bearings of the new cutter head into the planer. Unfortunately there are no installation instructions that come with it, so I had to rely on the internet and You Tube. The tools included a deep socket that I can only assume was meant to help with this installation, but I was not sure how. I don’t have much experience with installing bearings, so I was afraid to bang on the bearings too hard. I ended up finding a large washer that was about the same diameter as the bearing and banging on it with a smaller PVC pipe to get it seated. Including good instructions would go a long way to making this a better product!

Got this for my DeWalt DW 734. I made over 20 hard wood cutting boards so far and little snipe and silky smooth finish right from the planner. Best finish ever. Seven days from the time I ordered the cutter head it arrived at my shop. Very easy to install after watching YouTube video. I could not be any happier, for the price and quality of the product. I highly recommend this wonderful cutter head.
Beautiful wood! Thank you for your approval, Doug.

This cutter is the best upgrade I’ve ever bought. No more setting the two blades, no more chips getting caught between the blade and the cutter block, causing lines in the work piece.
Reduces the amount of sanding as well.
Best money I’ve ever spent.
I make chopping boards where flat boards are a must, this makes my job a lot easier and quicker than the old 2 blade system.

After finding this provider via a general search on the Internet and following a review of the YouTube channel of Brett’s Basement Woodshop and recommendation by Brett of the quality and reliability of products by FindBuy Tool, I decided to take the risk of ordering a helical cutter head for my DeWalt DW734 planer and was very pleased with the very efficient and speedy delivery process. Once the product was received within less than three days from China to my home in Canada, I proceeded to install the cutterhead as per the step by step instruction video of Brett’s Basement Woodshop. The installation went very well. I have already used the planer to finish a charcuterie board and was extremely pleased with the result. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and specific product to anyone asking.

I recently bought the Helical cutter head for my DeWalt DW733 planer. my straight edge blade although new was giving me rough cuts and chipping out figured woods. The new Helical cutterhead cuts like butter, in some cases I wouldn't need to sand if I didn't want to. The tracking of my purchase was unbelievable they kept me informed of where my package was every step of the way. I also bought the upgraded torque screwdiver to simplify installation, and it worked beautifully. I highly recomment this very affordable product
