I did a search of the message archives, and several people mentioned improved chip density in the dust collector withe the spiral head and that the Tersa produces “fluffy chips” that take up more room be are lighter weight. ?The only quantifiable difference statement was an estimate of 20-pecent different in chip volume. ?Several people commented that the spiral head is better with difficult grains like Birds Eye, etc. unless the Tarsa knives were new. ?There are also a. number of comments that the spiral head requires more finishing effort to work out the “divots”. ?I just finished milling 100 BF of wide cherry from 5/4 rough (and twisted) ?to 22.5mm S4S stock, and ended up with 9 (? full) light bags of fluffy chips from my RL160 like shown below.

Yes, you can see the difference between Tersa and spiral. You can easily go from planer directly to 150-180 (my final grit when using hardwax)
with spiral I had to go down to 80-100 to remove some minor milling marks.?

60 gallon can handle it, it depends on how frequent you are willing to empty it. I can easily fill a 35 gallon in a single milling operation.
