Helical knives for 6" Ridgid jointer

[sstudy]

Does anyone know if there is a supplier for helical replacement knives for the Ridgid jointer and/or planers?

Thanks,
Stephen

You cant replace the knives, you would need to replace the entire head. I suppose that would be possible if you could find a head with the EXACT dimentions of the original ridgid head but at this point I bet the cost gets out of hand

Here is a place that sells helical and spiral heads for the Ridgid. They are expensive.

Really not as expensive as I would have thought. Considering the new 6" griz with helical head is $975. Thanks for the link

Does anyone know if there a noticable difference in the quality of cut when comparing the spiral vs. helical head?
