Powermatic 8 in. Jointers

The Powermatic 8 in. Jointers meet the demands for accuracy while combining unique, user-friendly functions. The infeed table lever can be used to rapidly position table height, then the handle rotated for fine-adjustment of cut depth. Fence tilting is accomplished by a worm gear system, smoothly operated by a simple handwheel. The tables provide 73 in. long extended support. A non-mar insert in the fence protects the table from scratches during adjustments. The 8 in. jointers are available with a three knife cutterhead, or a helical cutterhead with four-sided knife inserts. The operating switch is high mounted for easy reach, and the push blocks have a magnetic base. Choose the jointer model you need.
