The Powermatic 15 in. Planer with Helical Cutterhead provides smoother cutting and a finer finish than wood planers with conventional knives, and the 74 four-sided indexable carbide knife inserts do not require adjustment after installing. Three V-belts transfer maximum power from the 3-HP motor to the cutterhead. Your work piece will get substantial support from the precision-ground cast-iron table and two large extension wings. The 4-in. dust port angles the collection hose away from the work area. Stock return rollers atop the Powermatic planer machine speed repetitive cuts. The serrated steel infeed and smooth steel outfeed roller allow for 1/8 in. maximum depth of cut and trouble-free operation. A 2-speed gearbox features an automatic chain tensioner. The one-piece welded steel stand has built-in lockable casters, so you can easily move this woodworking planer around the shop.
