The Powermatic 8 in. Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a machine loaded with features. The cutterhead is a helical design with 54 four-sided knife inserts - these produce a superior finish and much quieter operation than conventional cutterheads, and the inserts do not require adjustment once installed. The Powermatic wood jointer has an extra-long 82-in. bed for better work support and is equipped with an innovative single handwheel design that tilts the fence in and out with positive stops at +/-45 and 90 degrees. A non-mar insert in the fence contacts the table to avoid scratching the surface during adjustments. The parallelogram design of this wood jointer keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead for improved finish and allows for a fast depth-of-cut adjustment. This jointer machine also ensures the table remains perfectly parallel, even after years of heavy use. The 2-HP motor is totally enclosed in a heavy steel stand, providing plenty of power and stability for the most demanding jobs.
