The massive, 32-
1/4" x 24" ribbed
cast iron table is
precisely
ground to insure
it is flat. This
heavy table is
raised and
lowered with a
large-diameter
iron handwheel.
Each full turn of
the handwheel produces a 1/16” change in table height, making ultra-precise cut
changes easy to make. The height of the cast iron table is controlled by a pair of heavy-
duty lead screws that keep it stable and insure that it remains parallel to the cutterhead
throughout its travel. The versatile POWERMATIC PM201HH, 22" Planer has a
maximum planing thickness of 9-3/4", minimum stock thickness of 1/8”, a maximum cut
depth of 3/16” and can plane wood with a minimum length of just 10”!
The large handwheel (left) makes raising and lowering the heavy cast iron table easy. The
specially designed dust ports under the top cover (right) help evacuate the dust to keep
the shop environment cleaner.
The massive cast iron
table has gib
adjustments at each
side on the front for
long term clearance
adjusting to keep the up
and down motion
smooth and play free.
The lead screws are
adjustable as well.
Heavy duty adjusting
hubs atop each lead
screw allow for quick
adjusting of the table
parallelism.
The table has gib adjustments (left) at either side to eliminate play that might
develop over the years. Each of the massive lead screws has an adjusting collar
at its top (right) to keep the table parallel to the cutterhead.
The POWERMATIC PM201HH, 22" Planer was designed for small to medium shops
with continuous planing requirements. Its 42”-long x 49”-wide and 59”-height packs
remarkable planing capabilities into a floor space saving footprint. The rugged
construction and labor-saving design means the POWERMATIC PM201HH, 22" Planer
will minimize downtime and maintenance costs while maximizing production.
