Powermatic 6-Inch Jointer with Helical Cutterhead, 1 HP, 115/230V 1Ph

A future built on great brands, products, and people is what we envision. Across all aspects of our business, we leverage the strengths of our global infrastructure to maximize the benefits of these three key elements.

The Powermatic 54HH Six-Inch Jointer with Helical Cutterhead boasts a superior finish and quieter operation compared to conventional cutterheads, thanks to its helical cutterhead featuring 40 four-sided, indexable carbide knife inserts. Designed and constructed to make wood-straightening tasks easy and accurate, this heavy-duty jointer will remain a vital part of your woodworking shop for years to come.

The base also contains the dust collection chute that evacuates debris from below the cutterhead via the exterior four-inch-diameter port near the floor--a design that keeps the hose out of the way to prevent tripping accidents.

The 54HH features a true helical cutterhead with specially machined carbide inserts arranged in spiral-shaped rows for effective--and incredibly quiet--performance, unlike some other cutterhead designs that merely label themselves as "helical" but retain many of the liabilities of long-blade designs. The inserts have a four-inch radius ground into them and are mounted so they approach the wood at a 14-degree angle, creating a true shear cut that eliminates much of the impact and the resulting fiber disturbance other cutterhead designs deliver. The durability of the carbide combined with the low-impact, shear cutting action mean the inserts have an extended life.

With a length of 66 inches and a width of 7-1/2 inches, the main precision-ground cast-iron table is one of the longest available in this class, providing plenty of support for large workpieces. It's conveniently mounted on dovetailed ways that keep it perfectly aligned through height changes. Adjustments are easy: the outfeed table height is adjusted with a handwheel mounted below the table, and the infeed table can be adjusted with a handle for coarse height changes or a long handle rotated for fine, precise height adjustments.

The all-cast-iron fence system has a length of 38 inches, height of four inches--and like the tables--is precisely ground to ensure straightness. The supporting and tilt mechanism, made up of large cast-iron pieces, make this system as accurate and repeatable as it is durable. For versatility, the fence tilts up to 45-degrees towards and away from the tables. Fully adjustable stops at 90 degrees (vertical) and each 45-degree position make set-up fast and help keep the 54HH accurate with minimal maintenance, while center-mounted controls make for easy operation.

The 54HH is backed by a five-year warranty and includes a comprehensive package of accessories, including a stand, door, dust chute, fence assembly, pulley cover, belt, cutterhead guard, push blocks, fence handle, manual, warranty card, and hardware bag.
