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-inch 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 2-HP motor is totally enclosed in a heavily-constructed steel stand, providing plenty of power for the most demanding jobs.
