I bought this and installed it using a youtube video. It arrived in a well constructed package that was screwed together and very solid. The installation is a straightforward process. Compared to the old cutterhead, this new one is much quieter which is almost worth it by itself. The noise improvement is something the before and after youtube videos just don't do a great job of showing. The cut quality is also very very nice, leaving the kind of finish you'd achieve with a good hand plane. Compared to other cutterheads, this one has fewer inserts (45), but that actually might be a good thing when it comes to stress on the motor- there's fewer teeth engaged in the wood at any point in time. I have only run some test pieces through the planer, but if the carbide teeth are anything like the byrd teeth I have on my jointer they'll last a very long time. Because the teeth do less gouging, I'm confident that I can plane thinner pieces now without them splintering apart which was common with the old blades. I'd say this is well worth the investment if you already have the Dewalt planer and you're tired of how fast the straight blades wear out and how loud it is. I was considering upgrading to a more industrial type of unit, but I'm thinking I can make this work now.

I bought this when it was cheaper than then Shelix by a good margin - at least 20-25%. Now the Elephas seems to cost a bit more, and Shelix dropped their prices noticeably. That said, the only (speculative) reason the Shelix might be better is that there is more negative space beneath the carbide cutter heads. This MAY allow deeper cuts that remove more material easier, but other than that I can't see a benefit in one maker or the other. The Elephas installs exactly the same as the Shelix, leaves the same surface finish, and each of the cutter heads have 4 useable cutting sides (a standard practice). From what I can tell the Elephas has more mass in the cutter head so in theory would leave smoother cuts on shallower passes, though if the Shelix is lighter it will be able to keep a higher RPM through a heavier cut. Ultimately I'm exceedingly happy with the quality, fit, finish, and function of the Elephas. Every bit worth the price (especially when it cost so much less than the Shelix). Now that they are nearly the same price I'm still satisfied with the Elephas - it seems they squeezed more efficiency out of the helical design and were able to provide comparable cutting coverage with 4 less carbide knives overall. The wrenches, spare screws, and 5 spare carbide knives are a nod of quality that I am glad they took. Overall I think the increased mass of the cutter head was a choice I would have made myself - it suits the use case in the DW735 more than going with something lighter.

Great product and simple enough to install as replacement for the oem planer head on my Dewalt DW735 planer. It’s much quieter than the original 3 blade head and leaves a nice smooth surface. We use the planer professionally and almost daily so I’m hoping it pay for itself over time.

I have been using this cutter head in my DeWalt 735 planer for a few years now, and it has performed flawlessly. When the inserts are new, the finish is so smooth that sanding is not necessary. The inserts seem to get chipped pretty easily though and I get raised lines pretty quickly after turning to the new edge. I use mostly rough lumber, so maybe there is sand or something abrasive on the surface, and that is the problem. HOWEVER, I have rotated the carbide inserts 4 times now and it is time to replace all inserts. They are non existent. The Elephas web site does not even have a listing for the inserts. The Elephas inserts have a counterbore ID that uses their patented type screw that only works with their inserts. I am still searching for an insert that has that counterbore ID and have been unsuccessful so far. I will probably try to find the standard countersunk ID insert that comes with the screws and hope that they fit. This is disappointing for me, as I do not know what options are available. This was an expensive mistake. To make matters worse, there are no dimensions for the inserts anywhere, even on their web site so I have to measure best I can and hope for the best.

After looking at the reviews and seeing the price of the other ones I took a gamble. I installed it with no problem. It really gives a nice finish on the boards. I planed some 30 year old black walnut boards and they came out great. Some people talked about having a fine line in the boards but I haven't had one so far. It cuts the wood so clean and even. The other thing is it's alot quieter. Not to say it's quiet but it's a lower tone noise and less than the original cutter head. If they all are like this one I would recommend them highly to anyone who planes rough lumber in any quality.

After a minor hiccup where I first received one where the box showed a clear impact (likely in transit), I received a replacement that was in good order. Having previously used these cutterheads of various stripes, and having so far tested a hundred or so board feet with this one, it is my assessment that it’s a solid product. Starting with the packaging, it comes in a nice little purpose-built wooden crate, complete with the Elephas factory seal. To open it, you’ll need a screwdriver. The cutterhead comes very well packaged and oiled. I recommend wearing leather gloves; the little cutters are sharp. You also get a packet with five extra cutter blades and two wrenches. These might not be as nice as you get with the Shelix, but they’re decent enough T-handle torx wrenches. The cutterhead is made in Taiwan and the bearings are marked Japan. It was good to see them use quality materials. The machining looks excellent, with no obvious flaws. While this cutterhead has (I believe) four less cutters than the Shelix and are arranged a bit differently, it does appear to be a true helical rather than just a spiral cutterhead. The cutterhead ran smoothly and produced nice, clean finishes. I’m probably not expert enough to give a definitive opinion on cut quality, especially compared to the competition, but I’d say it did a good enough job at the very least (I might know more after running some hardwoods through the planer). Overall, I’d say it seems like a promising cutterhead with better value than others, given its lower price and quality.

I purchased the OEM diameter version for the Dewalt DW735X. Packaging/Shipping: First impression was the packaging and it was fantastic. Super strong/stiff cardboard screwed to wooden blocks that held the cutting head in place. Nicely wrapped and it had a thin sheen of oil to prevent rust/corrosion. The shipping was quick, arriving within 3-4 days. Installation: I marked the rows of cutters with a paint pen, laid out rows of tape with matching numbers and removed the cutters, laying them in the same order that they came out. Total time, less than 5 minutes. The new cutting head slipped right into place. I reinstalled the cutters, I was lucky to have a torque wrench that was perfect for the job, and finished closing up the machine. Total time from opening up the planer to putting the cover back on - 30-45 minutes. There are some great Youtube videos for doing this and they are super long. There are a couple that are equally good but they are much faster. Choose what works best for you. The extra cutters and screws were a nice tough, having two of the T wrenches in the package was very nice and the shipping packaging made a great storage box for the OEM cutter after it was removed. Use: I've run poplar, hickory, maple, oak and cherry through the planer since installing the cutter and it handles everything with ease and it does a fantastic job. I have absolutely zero complaints about this product.

Showed up well packaged and protected. Recommend using the Byrd cutter head videos for the installation is straight forward but is complicated. Definitely have a set of snap ring pliers available will make life much easier. You will need to remove most of the inserts for installation. The bearings are preinstalled which is nice. Cutter head worked great so far has about 800 lf of solid knotty hickory on it and not missing a beat. The regular steel knives would be so dull by now they would just burn along.
