I know this has been asked before, but not in recent times as far as I can see...So perhaps with technological changes and new models, people have a different opinion? I'm finally setting up a proper workshop (not commercial, although I do plan to start making stuff I can flog online), and for the thicknesser, I'm basically down to two options:
1./ Buy the Carbatec CT-330X. I was all but sold on this until I read here and elsewhere that it's not a true spiral head cutter of the quality you get from Byrd. Which leads me now to think:
2. Buy the DeWalt DW-735XE, use it with the supplied knives until I want to upgrade, and then go for a retro-fit to the Byrd cutter head.
Cost is a consideration, but at this point, I'm tired of messing about with rubbish equipment, and I would rather pay a little more for good machinery that I can count on to be accurate.
So I kind of answered my own question here, but wondering what other people's experiences have been, whether retrofitting the Byrd is difficult/ causes issues with the machine etc.
Thanks, all and Merry Xmas!

Cant decide - Carbatec spiral head cutter or buy Dewalt and retrofit with Byrd?!
