Also, if your tersa knives get a knick you can slide one knife over a little and correct the problem. ?It usually took longer to move things off the top of the planer than it did to slide the knife over and turn the machine back on.

?And I will condition my experience.
I mill teak almost exclusively which while abrasive and hard on tooling is a freebie for tear out and planes without drama.
I have the ultra sharp HSS blade sets for when I need them but honestly I rarely do.
Carbide stays on the head pretty much all the time
Between the lathe and mills my shop is full of index tooling but when I saw the Byrd heads come out I knew I would never have one in the shop.
Far too much fiddling when a Tersa head just works (for me..).
The Felder head with fewer cutters would probably serve.
