Re: Carbide Spiral Cutter Head

I have the Dewalt 735 w/Shelix. Would never go back to straight blades. Have to take small bites but worth it to me. If I have a SS planer I wouldn't hesitate to put a Shelix on it.

Re: PowerPro Headstock DIY Upgrade

Never regretted upgrading to PP 10 years ago. In fact I bought a new PP w/headstock Gen 2 when they hit the market and don't regret that either. I have thought about the double tilt over the years (bought my first SS new in 1987) but have never pulled the trigger on it. I just can't see how it would...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

Ditto the measurements. I expect the case size was driven by the circuit board(s) inside. Smaller boards tends to be synonymous with higher costs so the that may be why the case is a little large. I plan on setting up 4 or so favorites as that takes care of 98% of my use. I really like my unit so fa...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

I didn't get it measured last night the screen (usable) id much larger than the old iPhone. I will get the specifics later today or tomorrow. My day job is managing property claims adjusters in East TX and we are a bit busy with storms at the present. I will get you the measurements in a day or so. ...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

I will check the manual for an info on the new overload system and report back here. ] Yeah, I kind of thought it looked like a thermal overload protector, but have only seen these on a few products. It looks resettable, but I was wondering how it worked, i.e. how can it be close enough to sense the...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

I will get you the measurements in a day or so. Certainly by the weekend. The screen looks all scratched up but that is the protective cover, figured I would leave it on till installation is complete. Mark 5 is set up for removal and replacement and the new headstock has a 220 plug on it. I will kee...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

I bought my Mark V in the early 80s and upgraded it along the way. I did the DIY of the Power Pro right after it launched and have been very happy with it. I will be ordering the complete PowerPro Gen 2 headstock this week and sell my Gen 1 when I get it. I am retiring 10/31/23 and want the latest i...
