Powermatic 201HH 22" Helical Head Planer 7.5hp, 1PH, 230V - PM9-1791267

Powermatic 201HH 22" Helical Head Planer 7.5hp, 1PH, 230V

This 1,300-pound heavy duty cast iron planer offers rock solid rigidity and accurate planing for years to come. The hinged top allows easy access to the rollers and knives, and has a 5” dust port for easy attachment to any dust collection system.

The cutterhead is a helical design with 150 four-sided knife inserts – these produce a superior finish and much quieter operation compared to conventional cutterheads, and the inserts are installed without further adjustments. The anti-kickback fingers and pressure bar are located in close proximity to the cutterhead for an exceptional finish. Infeed and outfeed rollers are fitted with roller bearings for long life. The sectional infeed roller and chip breaker are specially designed to allow multiple boards to be planed at the same time.

The adjustable bed rollers facilitate both rough and finish planing. The solid steel outfeed roller is machined with small serrations to ensure a smooth finish yet provide positive feeding. The two-speed gearbox with machined detents is quickly changed up front when switching from rough to finish work. The massive, ribbed cast iron table is ground finished and rises smoothly via the hand wheel. With a hefty 7-1 /2 horsepower motor, the 201HH Planer is perfect for the small to medium shop with continuous planning requirements.

• Clean after use: Remove sawdust, chips, and debris from the table, cutter head, and motor to maintain smooth operation.
• Inspect the knives: Check the helical carbide inserts for wear and replace or rotate them as needed to ensure consistent cutting quality.
• Lubricate moving parts: Apply grease or oil to the infeed and outfeed rollers, gears, and other moving components to reduce friction and wear.
• Check alignment: Verify that the infeed and outfeed tables are properly aligned to ensure flat, smooth cuts.
• Monitor belt tension: Inspect the belts for wear, and adjust the tension if necessary to maintain proper speed and performance.
• Tighten fasteners: Periodically check and tighten all bolts and screws to prevent vibrations and maintain machine stability.
• Inspect electrical components: Check the motor, wiring, and power switch for wear or damage to ensure safe and reliable operation.
