Powermatic 8" Parallelogram Straight Knife Jointer with ArmorGlide 2hp, 1PH, 230V

Now featuring ArmorGlide Technology, the Powermatic PJ882T 8-Inch Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a machine loaded with features. This machine has an extra-long 82" 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 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 simple twist of the knob will disable this feature.

This jointer features a Powermatic controlled chip three-knife cutterhead for a safe, smooth cut every time. The powerful 2hp motor is totally enclosed in a heavily-constructed steel stand, providing plenty of power for the most demanding jobs.
