The video I wish I watched before installing a SHELIX

This is my second time upgrading a DeWalt DW735 thickness planer with a SHELIX cutterhead, so instead of wondering how to do it, I was more interested in how I could do it better than the last time. There's always room for improvement and usually more than one way to get the job done right, but I think this video is going to make the whole process go a little smoother for anyone doing this upgrade. It might even be fun to watch. Check the comments for updated information because I ran out of room in the video description.

I had to export multiple times after reviewing the output and making adjustments. ► Two bags of Juan Valdez coffee beans.

For the few parts where I filmed both sides simultaneously, I use a GoPro Hero 4 as the secondary camera. ▻ Audio was recorded using a Rode Wireless Go and a Rode lavalier microphone. ▻ I used Cyberlink Director Suite 365 for video, audio, and photo editing, and that's also where I get most of the sound clips and music tracks. ▻ My editing computer is a Dell XPS 8930 with a 6-core i7 8700 processor, 32 Gb or RAM, and a GeoForce GTX 1070 video card, which is surprisingly underpowered for this type of work. Congratulations on reading all the way to the bottom. Fun fact: One of my other SHELIX-related videos resulted in Byrd Tool Experts (a distributor of Byrd Tool Corp products) contacting me for an interview, which you can see here:    • Byrd Tool Experts Interview with The Snekk...
