Installing a Byrd Shelix helical carbide cutter head on a Grizzly G0609 12" jointer. This video is about the setup/tuning process and first cuts.

Here's the Oneway Multi Gauge I use in the video: [affiliate] amzn.to/23Wfbu7

I bought this jointer on Amazon in September of 2013. Amazon no longer sells it and the Grizzly rep tells me the jointer will be discontinued soon.

Looks like you have some alternatives though. You could buy a combination jointer/planer: [amazon] amzn.to/1QjYG1w

Or, if you've got the coin and you want the length of the G0609, you could get the Extreme version, which is just like mine, but mega ultra awesomer: [affiliate] amzn.to/1Tm6Yv4
