Randal spiral and helical heads
September 22nd, 2005 12:44 AM
"There is also 2/3 of a page side bar concerning swapping a standard straight-bladed jointer rotary head with a new "spiral-cut" jointer head."

The helical heads are supposed to be better then the spiral, but while both are supposed to be better for surfacing (shearing rather then tearing the fibers), you lose the ability to do rabbits on your jointer (assuming, it's a standard rabbiting jointer).
