This Powermatic 20 in. Planer with Helical Cutterhead offers performance and value, loaded with standard features not found on other woodworking machines in its class. The powerful wood planer with a 5-HP motor and 20-in. planing capacity will handle the most demanding work. The helical cutterhead provides quieter operation and finer finishing than conventional systems, and the 100 four-sided carbide knife inserts seat themselves without requiring a set-up gauge. The 5-in. dust port connects easily to any dust collector. The anti-kickback fingers and pressure bar are located in close proximity to the cutterhead for an exceptional finish. The solid cast-iron base, table and head are designed for production. The 2-speed oil bath gearbox transmits full power to feed rollers and facilitates fast speed changes at 24 and 31 FPM. The gearbox can be changed to 4-speed with the included gear to run lower speeds of 16 and 20 FPM. The corrugated infeed and fine-groove outfeed rollers ensure a smooth feed. The precision-ground and polished cast-iron table rides on four steel columns, giving this wood planer plenty of support for the larger work piece. Heavy cast-iron extension wings ensure a flat, smooth cut.5 Year Warranty
