The helical cutterhead on this planer provides smoother cutting and a finer finish than 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 3HP motor to the cutterhead. Your workpiece will get substantial support from the precision ground cast iron table and two large extension wings. The 4" dust port angles the collection hose away from the work area. Stock return rollers atop the machine speed repetitive cuts. The serrated steel infeed and smooth steel outfeed roller allow for 1/8" 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 for easy movement around the shop.

This is a nice machine.. Very quiet compared to conventional planers.. Cut quality is excellent.. The issue that I have with this machine is that in the specifications section, it is stated as having a steel stand with lockable casters.. And it does.. However they DO NOT function properly.. They DO NOT lock!.. I went to a distributor and checked the one on display.. That one's lockable casters worked as well as mine.. They didn't!.. The distributor said they would contact the company and get back to me, and they did. They said they were told to fix it by placing a wedge there to keep it from moving. I had a hard time believing this so I called Powermatic.. Yup, that's the fix, go figure? Are you kidding me? I guess I'm wrong to expect something with this kind of price tag to work as specified? Well, it looks great on paper... But the guys at Powermatic need to get the bugs worked out properly..
