  Dear woodchucks
  How about some piano related banter.
    I finally bit the bullet and bought a new Shelix indexable carbide tip  
super duper cutter head for my 20 inch planner and  8 "jointer.
  The jointer cut the first pass of a maple block 3 inches wide that was smooth 
as a babys bottom, silk blanket....etc
   The planner head is a wicked looking device.  Like something used for  
torture. Each squarish cutter bit has four sides of carbide.  If one or  more 
gets nick loosen the screw and rotate the numbered head to a new  clean fresh 
razor edge. I got these heads from grizzly.  The Shelix is  made in ....THE 
U.S.A.....by American craftsman...Ta dum.!!!
  The other one in chermany....by German craftsman.
   The other really cool feature is the noise level drops by at least  half.  
I'd say with the jointer...2/3thds.  Big plus in the shop.
