Powermatic PJ822HH 8" Parallelogram Helical Head Jointer - PM1-1610082

Powermatic PJ822HH 8" Parallelogram Helical Head Jointer

The 8" Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a machine loaded with features. The cutterhead is a helical design with 54 four-sided knife inserts – these produce a superior finish and much quieter operation than conventional cutterheads, and the inserts do not require adjustment once installed.

The Jointer 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°. 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 heavy use. The 2HP motor is totally enclosed in a heavy steel stand, providing plenty of power and stability for the most demanding jobs.

• Clean regularly: Remove wood chips, dust, and debris from the cutterhead, tables, and motor to maintain optimal performance.
• Inspect helical cutters: Check the carbide inserts for wear, and rotate or replace them as needed to ensure consistent cutting quality.
• Lubricate moving parts: Apply lubricant to the infeed and outfeed rollers, parallelogram mechanism, and other moving components to reduce friction.
• Check alignment: Ensure the infeed and outfeed tables are properly aligned with the cutterhead to achieve flat, smooth cuts.
• Inspect the drive belt: Check for wear and adjust the tension if necessary to ensure proper power transfer to the cutterhead.
• Tighten fasteners: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws, tightening them to prevent vibrations and maintain machine stability.
• Monitor motor and electrical components: Check the motor, wiring, and electrical connections for any wear or damage to ensure safe operation
