Axminster P/T AW2260S

[JWWorkshop]

About to pull the trigger on this machine as I've been looking for something good for a few week but haven't found anything suitable. I'm attracted by the spiral block for set-up time and noise reasons which are both important too me, but there's very few reviews. As far as I can tell from the pictures it's just a PT107 with a. spiral block.

Does anyone have any opinions or has had hands on?

TIA.

People seem to just think of spiral cutter blocks or knives but you have the spiral cutter block and also the helical cutter block which cut in different ways.

The spiral cutters are in the same plane as knives, so cut the same but with the helical head they are rotated so as they cut with a shearing action.

For me I would be looking at the Tersa system because so easy to change the blades with no setup compared to what my old PT107 had before I brought the disposable knive system for it.
