Description

We see a future built on great brands, products, and people. In every facet of our business, we leverage the strengths of our global infrastructure to maximize the benefits of all three. From the Manufacturer This 8-Inch jointer meets the demand 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-Inch long extended support. A non-mar insert in the fence protects the table from scratches during adjustments. The jointer is 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 - store them on any metallic surface for instant access.

  • OMG!
Style: Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
Stunningly beautiful. But let's face it, many times beauty is only skin deep. I am constantly amazed that Amazon can ship three, four, or even five hundred pound packages across the continent and have it in my garage two days after I placed the order. And with Amazon prime, they do it for free. This jointer arrived in two separate packages. They are both heavy but the jointer top is exceedingly heavy. It simply is impossible for one man to lift it by himself. I am 6'4" tall, 220 pounds and I have worked in the construction industry my entire life. I am amazingly fit and yet there is no way in the world I could lift this unit and assemble it by myself. So my advice to you is to be sure you have some assistance in lifting the top onto the stand. Once in place, there are only three bolts that connect the two units so it is a very easy assembly. Other than that, there are very minor other assembly issues which must be addressed. They are all very simple and quite intuitive. Maybe I got lucky but the fit and finish on this jointer is far superior to the fit and finish on my 15 HH planer. Honestly with my Powermatic planer, I was a little disappointed at the moderately rough finish of the planing table surface. That is not the case with this jointer. It has been ground and polished to a high sheen. It is the way high end woodworking equipment should be manufactued but rarely is anymore. Honestly, I haven't run a single board through this unit yet but I know, through prior experience with that Shelix helical head on my planer, that I will love the results of the same head on this jointer. I will certainly update once I've completed assembly and run a couple hundred board feet of lumber through it. But I couldn't wait to post my initial reaction. The fit and finish is as good as I have ever seen from any manufacturer. The highly Polished jointer tables are amazing. And I already know that that shelix cutterhead is like nothing else on the market. So back to the shop I go, prepared to work well into the night fine tuning this incredible piece of machinery. Update to follow. UPDATE: I finally had time to address the "set-up" of this planer and I am stunned. Even after shipping across the globe, the beds are dead flat. Both the Infeed and Outfeed tables are perfect. I have measured with a high quality straight edge and couldn't find even the tiniest bit of daylight underneath. I used high end feeler gauges, going progressively smaller and I couldn't fit any of them under the straight edge anywhere. I am pleasantly amazed. These tables are very long and incredibly heavy. I have never seen a jointer that came out of the shipping containers in such perfect condition before. The ONLY adjustment I needed to make was a very minor adjustment to the fence stop for its 90 degree preset stop. That took all of about two minutes. Sooooo................having set aside a couple of hours for final set up, I used the time to play with this incredible machine. After cleaning the unit thoroughly, I applied three coats of Johnson's paste wax to the entire machine, to every surface. I live in a residential area and I'm sensitive to the noise I produce with my shop so I usually relegate my waxing to early mornings. It produces very little noise and it keeps all my machinery in top condition and protects all the surfaces, ESPECIALLY all the cast iron tables. My table saw is well over 30 years old yet it STILL looks virtually new. Finally I ran various pieces of material through the jointer. As expected, the Shelix head is amazing. It is incredibly quiet, although not as quiet as my planer but that is attributable to the cutter head being more exposed on the jointer than on the planer. The finish is flawless and requires very little effort to push the stock across the beds and cutters. I purposefully selected some pieces of Maple which had fairly pronounced cupping and/or bows. After running them through this jointer, they were rifle shot straight.............which is what a jointer is for after all. The effort to obtain that however is minimal with this unit and very little subsequent finish sanding will be required. Definitely Five Stars are warranted. This will be the last jointer of my career. I have found "Jointer-Nirvana". I am SO glad I went with the 8" model instead of the 6". It has ample power for deep cuts in very hard stock. An amazing unit. Very, very pleased. ... show more

  • The fence alignment stop was preset to a perfect 90 degree
Style: Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
This was delivered free of charge by Amazon in two containers. The base was in a heavy cardboard box and the jointer was in a plywood coffin size container. The trucking company placed the jointer inside my garage, per my request, and they volunteered to carry the base container to the inside of my basement shop. A very pleasant delivery experience. Assembly was uncomplicated with the exception of getting the 300 lb jointer on top of the base. I used a home made hoist. After bolting the jointer to the base you slip on the fan belt, make sure the pulleys are in alignment, and attach the magnetic switch arm. There are a few other assembly steps such as bolting on the dust port and attaching the cutter guard - all uncomplicated. Everything fits together without a fuss. I found no dings or scratches anywhere. The cast iron surfaces of the jointer are flawless. The fence alignment stop was preset to a perfect 90 degree. The two halves were in perfect planar alignment, at least to the extent I can measure it. So clearly the jointer was inspected and set up properly before it was shipped. Before starting up there is a light coating of protective oil on the cast iron surfaces to remove with some mineral spirits. On pushing the little green power on button you are met with a very loud turbine whine. This is seriously loud. It might be on par with the sound of an angry router. Wear ear protection. I have my Powermatic on the accessory mobile base, which is a three wheel design. Three wheels will not give you a rock steady support to a heavy rectangular power tool on top. The base needs supporting leveling pads to counteract this instability. It is puzzling why this Powermatic specific mobile jointer base lacks such a minor design fix. So the issue is when you push the red power off donut on the magnetic switch, the torque on that long switch arm rocks the jointer on the mobile base. The spring pressure behind that red power off donut is excessive. Push it and you start the jointer to jiggling on that mobile base. At first I was annoyed at this nonsense on a machine that goes for a grand more than that well known brand with the bear identity. But, after truing up some heavy African mahogany for a vanity project, I can't say I even noticed the jiggling. This 8 inch jointer replaces a 6 inch Craftsman that I held on to way too long. I made too many compromises on the size limitation of that Craftsman. This 8 inch Powermatic with the long, heavy table and spiral cutting head is a pleasure to use. The cuts are glass smooth with the spiral cutters. I haven't noticed any roughness regardless of grain orientation. I'm pleased with product and recommend it. One other observation - hook it up to a dust collection system as it blows wood chips all over without suction. ... show more

  • BEWARE!!!
Style: Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
The media could not be loaded. Two months into purchasing this machine the aluminum fan blade came loose, and I was depending on the great reputation Powermatic had in regards to servicing it’s tools and its customer service. It is now almost a year after having the machine I’ve called Powermatic three times -they came out twice to replace the aluminum fan blade and the fan blade still comes loose, and now they are avoiding my emails. Calling them only allows them to keep pushing the problem down the road. Beware, Powermatic is riding on a reputation that developed years ago, but he’s no longer able to live up to. ... show more

  • FANTASTIC JOINTER !!
Style: Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
I have had this jointer for 3 weeks now and I am very impressed !! The assembly took about 45 minutes and went very well. This is a very well built machine and all I had to adjust was the fence angle scale, the outfeed table and the infeed table were spot on , no adjustments needed. This jointer is very heavy and has plenty of power. I was amazed at the first few boards I ran thru the machine, they were all perfect cuts, no snipe and perfectly square. This is the first jointer I have used with the spiral helical cutterhead and it is well worth the price. I have been using jointers for 35 years now and this is my 5th jointer I have owned and this is the best jointer I have ever used !! ... show more
