Powermatic 1285 12" Helical Head Jointer 3hp, 3PH, 230/460V

This 12" jointer offers big capacity and performance in a machine that is loaded with features. Large center-mounted fence assembly adjusts easily via rack and pinion system with ram lock. Preset stops on the fence body allow for fast angle set-up at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles.

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 tables remain perfectly parallel even after years of tough duty. Choose either the standard three-knife cutterhead or the solid steel Helical cutterhead. The helical system makes fast work of knife changing and never needs adjustment.

• Helical cutterhead with 42 two sided carbide inserts for fast knife changes with no adjustments and a quiet clean cut
• Large 12" x 84" precision ground cast iron table surface for heavy-duty work
• Parallelogram design for close table-to-cutterhead proximity and fast depth of cut adjustments
• Rack and pinion adjustable cast iron fence assembly for smooth fence positioning without play
• Table "lips" on both sides of cutterhead aid in noise reduction
