I’ve changed the head on my Jet 8″ (2 HP running on 220) Jointer from knives to helical cutter head reused old pulleys and added new-segmented v belts.

It works fine when I joint an edge but when I flatten a face it sounds like it’s bogging down even taking a light cut,

Also I thought these heads were suppose to be quitter, mine is definitely nosier.

Any suggestions as to why?
