exactly what I need when "oops" happens
This cutter head is a game changer for the makita 1806B Planer. We've had it in 2 of our planers here in Australia planing our extremely hard timbers for about 3 years now and it has performed extremely well. Massively reduced sharpening time and produces a hugely better timber finish. Can't recomend this product enough.
After purchasing a helical cutter head for my Rockwell planer from China (wish I hadn't) ; it cuts just fine but a little tedious installation.
So in looking for one for my Frejoth jointer, I was elated to find one from Sheartrak! Cutter bits already installed with bearings included! Install was easy peasy. And the finish impeccable! Thanks Sheartrak!
Thank you Mike and team, for excellent technical assistance during the purchasing phase. The old cutter head removal and new installation took 1.5hrs stat to finish, including testing and bed calibration. The quality is excellent, reduction in noise considerably noticeable, using a 180mm wide piece of hardwood, 2mm pass was quieter than the sound of the motor. Finish quality as close to perfect as one can get.
The product was ship and arrived in a timely fashion and was what they said it was. Installed and fit perfectly.
TRULY AMAZING TRANSFORMATION
SO EXTREMLY QUITE AND WOW WHAT AN AMAZING FINISH IT L;EAVES ON THE WOOD NOT ALOT OF SANDING TO DO
Upgrading the cutterhead on this planer has been a huge upgrade to this machine in our school shop. The noise level is significantly reduced and the surface finish is fantastic. Highly recommend this upgrade to anyone considering. Sheartak were great to deal with, very helpful support and the replacement went smoothly. I would recommend replacing bearings with any cutterhead too.
the conversion to spiral head and inserts for our Makita planers has been an amazing improvement for the applicatiopn
works great! brings new life to an indispensable door tool.
solid well maid cutter head fit exact and quick international delivery!
Very smooth cuts. Took great effort to ensure I got the correct head. Install was a no brainer.
Saved me the time and effort to install bearings.
Shipping package was very good and arrived with no damage. The head is well made and the balance is great with no vibration. Smooth cuts and much quites than the original straight blade.
Esay to install and doing a parfect job on my general Jointer , great product and delivered on time
I recently replaced the original cutter head with the sheartak helical on a craftsman jointer. Cuts are extremely smooth, and noise is significantly less. Installation was easy.
I shape surfboards everyday with this barrel in my Skil 100 planer. I actually have three Skils in my shop, all with this exact barrel in them. They are smooth cutting, anccurate and with the four way carbide cutting heads they will far outlast me and very likely be handed down to the next generation of surfboard shapers.
If you value a true quality cut in your Skil 100 machines that will last a lifetime then you need this Sheartak barrel. Get one and thank me later!

A well engineered product, it arrived on time and well packaged.
Fitting took a couple of hours and was fairly straightforward.
I planed some12" wide white oak,the finish on the board is excellent, it seems best to take light passes for the best results.
I would recommend this item.
Amazing upgrade. Cuts foam like butter. Very smooth. Easy installation and ordering. Sheartak was great with questions and answers. Recommend highly.

The spiral cutterheasd meets my expactations. Compared to the originl one, the cutting result is great. The noise is much lower.
It is unusual for a project to go exactly as planned. Swapped cutter heads on my combo machine, following provided instructions, using supplied bearings with no trouble, problems or consternation. Many many thanks
You know what actually rips these days? This sheartak cutter head does! It's super easy to install and cuts like butter🙌
I ordered this cutterhead from Germany. In Germany the corresponding router is called Shinko AH200 by the company Dictum. It's an absolutely straight forward replacement without any issues. The installed bearings are just put on. You can remove them easily by hand. Maybe little knuckeling and it's off. First test was just great. It's so much less noisy without any tearouts. I jointed some chunks of mahagoni and oak. Quality just wonderful.
PS: If someone struggels to get the outfeed/infeed table adjusted correctly search for "Cutech outfeed table alignment" on youtube. Best and shortest howto i could find.
I ordered the cutterhead from Germany. Tax and import stuff was done by UPS, excellent service.
The cutterhead itself was just a joy to install. Just work your way up to the cutterhead from the bottom. There where absolutely no issues in installing it. After leveling the beds only roughly i put one piece of oak through it and was just excited. There was no tearout (even with not 100% parallel beds). After aligning it correctly it's now really a pleasure to plane wood. First tries where just to thin after planning because it made just so much fun with the cutterhead. Also my 100mm Dust Collection is not stucked with material because it's much smaller.
Overall, also thinking about taxes and logistic costs, i would order this toolhead again. The Metabo DH330 is already a great machine, with this upgrade it get excellent.
This cutterhead fit my Rexcut Model B087 Jointer perfectly. I love how cuts. The original cutter head needed new gib screws i could not find any bolts that would work. By installing this cutter head made my jointer like new.
