I have one (byrd head) on order for my DJ-30. Over two months wait time. I
got it for the jointer so there is no tear out when edge jointing and the
fact I hate changing knives. I was/am considering one for my General 14"
planer but was more looking for a quick change knife system as those need
replacing more often.
Thanks,
David.

How about a link to a company that can sell you the Tersa set up?

I'd seriously consider a spiral knife head like Byrd Tool sells (in fact, I
am considering one myself, for an old Rockwell RC-33 13" planer, the one
that started the whole mini-planer revolution). It uses individual, easily
replacable indexable inserts in a helical configuration. They are not cheap,
but judging by the prices I saw for the Tersa, I suspect that they are in
the ball park. Check out
http://www.byrdtool.com/ The bad news is that they have a sizable waiting
list.
