After sitting in the box since last summer I finally set it up.

Yowsa.

 Puts my old Grizzly two knife planer to shame.

When the knives wear out I have the Shellix head for it.

I got one and put a Shelix on it out of the box.

I no longer have a big dust collector in this new place, so use a shopvac and dust deputy, and it keeps up with shavings which are not so unruly as with the knives.

Put the helical on it now. It's such a massive quality and usability increase that you will hardly believe it.

This.  Plus, the helical makes it quite a bit quieter, too.

Yeah, the helical head is such a massive upgrade there is zero reason to wait for the knives to chip or wear out. Just do it. Quieter, smoother, faster, more durable, better, you name it.

Other than the cost of the head being near the cost of the planer :)

Well, he already has one, so it isn't a factor.
