Product Description
-------------------
The 8" Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a
machine loaded with features. Each machine has an extra-long 82"
bed length 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 keeps the table in
close proximity to the cutterhead for improved finish and allows
for a fast depth of cut adjustment.
This design also ensures the table remains perfectly parallel,
even after years of tough duty. The 1/8" depth limiter control
knob gives you quick adjustment ability and safety. A quick twist
of the knob will disable this feature. This jointer features a
Powermatic controlled chip 3- cutterhead for a safe, smooth
cut every time. The powerful 2-HP motor is totally enclosed in a
heavily-constructed steel stand, providing plenty of power for
the most demanding jobs.

When we look at jointers, there are a couple of tests at the top
of our list, and this model aces them all.
First, its got a generous 8-inch wide bed, and you cant do
better than that. But icing on the cake is the beds luxuriously
long 82 inches, giving you absolute support and accuracy on the
infeed side. We like the way the infeed table travels up and
down; instead of a handwheel, you just loosen the locking lever
and move the long-handled table adjustment arm. Leverage is our
friend, and therell be no more skinned knuckles! Lock the lever
again and youre ready to cut. When you want to cut rabbets a
beautifully simple job on this jointer -- override the 1/8-inch
depth limit by turning the control knob. Twist it again to
re-engage this feature. The outfeed table adjusts to height
easily, should your jointer not retain its factory setting during
shipment. Its worth checking.
We like this fence best of all the competitors for a couple of
reasons. Theres a non-marring insert in the fence contacts that
prevent scratching the infeed and outfeed tables while youre
adjusting it. The fence rides smoothly across the beds and locks
easily. But its best trick is tilting 45 degrees both forward
and backward, giving you a total angle to the back of 135 degrees
for beveling. And instead of grasping the whole fence to tilt it,
this one moves beautifully by handwheel.
The three- cutterhead should be perfectly adjusted from the
factory, but to be safe, we recommend checking it before running
any stock. The head turns at 7,000 rpm, giving you 21,000 cuts
per minute and a super-smooth surface.
The final feature that won our admiration is the placement of
the power switch. Youll find it below the infeed bed on most
jointers, but on this Powermatic, its positioned on its own arm
above the infeed table. We like this spot best for safetys sake
a jointer is a beautiful machine, but with just a little
operator error, it has the potential to m. Having the power
switch in the open just makes good safety sense.
We recognize that a jointer like this is a big investment, but
we trust the Powermatic name for quality, reliability and a long
life. You wont regret this purchase. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
