man of wood Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just got a SHELIX Head for my Delta 22-580 planer. I know I can just gig into it and change it. I'm very confident in doing this. Although see a YouTube film or talking to someone who has done it is always a good idea. I can't find anything on line about changing it out\, so here I am. Any Special things I need to know?? Thanks Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 I’d mic everything as it comes out and compare it to the new head. I have no experience with that planer, but you want to be absolutely certain of tolerances regarding bearings etc. if you cannot find a swap already completed, looking for parts lists so that you can evaluate bearings and shaft sizes is always good confirmation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlsplawn Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I also just bought the shelix cutterhead for my Delta 22-580. Any suggestion or tips for installation? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I imagine they would send everything needed to complete the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
