Powermatic was suppossed to redesign the cutterhead to improve the finish of the planed material. Has this been done or is it in development?

Would not recommend this machine, it's over rated and the worst powermatic to date. I wish I could return the one I have it's not a wise investment.

There are a few advanced men who have used it and I am sure a phone call to Iron Mind in California can get you more specifics. I believe they have a tool free number. I have done the 1.5 and believe I could achieve the 2 if I owned it.

Was wondering the same thing...just assembled and started using my machine yesterday. It would be nice to customize it further.

I saw some on eBay last night but wasn't clear if they were precut or not. Sounded like they had replicated them. I'm struggling with the same problem and would love to have more chassis and molds as well!

The blade designed for the Power model includes an additional "comb" at the leading edge which lifts and arranges the whiskers before the blades slice through them. But any fusion blade can be used with any fusion handle, power or otherwise.

you can get replacement cutters directly from Byrd Tools (Google them) regardless of where you bought your cutterhead. Really great people, too, imho.

I did not find any at Home Depot. The B&D design appears different from most others. This trimmer head is a very poor design I would not buy it. I believe lots of people are upset with this product. I had to jury rig the trimmer. Got rid of the spool and attached a line with a hose clamp to the center post and put the cap back on. It works but vibrates allot. But works for the little I use it.

Do not see a question? It you are asking about the head replacement part it works great it is a little tricky to align the cutters but they will only go in one way. They worked just as new. Hope this helps............Dave

MY issues with the new saw were the paint on the table top scratching too easy. I had my table powder coated and that solved that issue. I also had trouble with the lower blade clamp not holding blades. After several discussions with the manufacturer, I was told I was tightening the knob to tight and causing the clamp housing to bend (?) I had a machinist make me a lower blade clamp out of good steel and that fixed the problem.

Nothing exciting. Its a little more work for the trimmer and more of the cut material sticks to the trimmer but that is superficial. Not a problem I would think.

I just bought a new one in 2014. The old reviews complained about plastic linkage parts breaking. The new machine I just received has all steel parts in critical areas. I believe the machine has been redesigned and improved. It is now extremely well built. Make sure we are talking about the 1215 machine as Stamina produces cheaper models.

It's a single-string cutter. It got its first use over the weekend, and performed well. It looks remarkably like the one of another brand that it replaced, so it may well be a case of badge-engineering, but it does solve the issue of proliferating battery types. Whether there are other cutter other-brand cutter heads that can be used I don't know, but there may be warranty and liability issues.

My issue was the degradation of quality in the recent blade holder angles. ThePlastic handles prevent/interfere the use of th the shallower two angles. I even tried real screws but the new holder still prevented shallower angles.

I have used a Phillips Sonicare for years and years and think it is great! A couple of years I "updated" since the one I had was several years old. I think the unit is overall improved. I would guess the brush heads would have improved also. I don't know if they are the only heads that will fit on the Diamond Clean. I've just always gotten the head that matched my unit.

if any mini cut out there can do what you ask. this is it. I would say this is more an industrial unit. than a hobby unit. it is a fully adjustable cutting head and table. and solidly built. I threw away the blade that came with it. for a cut-off wheel. I also modified the blade shield. and extended the safety release handle. for my requirements. I have cut #8 hardened bolts 7/16th thick. the cut-off wheel was slower than the motor to cut through. this should service you well. hope this helps.

This is the upgraded model, Not sure if it was "legal" to switch out a model like this and keep all the reviews for the older model... But this is really just an evolution of the previous model. They beefed up the platform that holds the build plate, added a cover for the top and front, and larger guides are being used for the Z axis. All of this is good stuff since the previous model was a little weak in these areas. The controller software has been changed to the Sailfish version which is much more user friendly since it is built from the ground up instead of a rehashed Makerbot Firmware.

Sorry have not used mine as of yet. They were such neat tools at a good price thought they would be nice to have.
