Powermatic's revolutionary ArmorGlide table coating gives the PJ1696T 16'' Jointer unbeatable low-friction glide, maximum rust-resistance and eliminates the need for maintenance with messy waxes and sprays! The Powermatic PJ1696T jointer offers outsize capacity and performance in a machine that is loaded with features. A large, center-mounted fence assembly adjusts easily on a rack and pinion system with a ram lock. Preset stops on the fence body allow for fast angle set ups at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles. The parallelogram design keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead for an improved cut, and allows for fast depth-of-cut adjustments.This design also ensures that the tables remain perfectly parallel, even after years of hard use. The specially-designed solid steel helical cutterhead consists of six rows of precision-ground staggered inserts. This system makes fast work of knife changing, and never requires adjustments. The heavy-duty 7-1/2 horsepower motor delivers all the power you need for even the biggest jobs.
