   	The DJ-20 with it's parallelogram table mechanism is the same used on the top European jointers like Martin, etc. A better system as it allows complete table adjustment compared to dovetailed ways.  Sunhill sells the byrd helical head at the best price. The byrd is the better helical head on the market. It's a true helical where the knives cut on the shear. The other helical heads are staggered in a helical manner but are straight cutting. Not sure if the General uses the Byrd or has a parallelogram table but those are things I would look at. I repair machines for a living so I have practical knowledge to base my info on.
