POWERMATIC® jointers play a crucial role in woodworking, preparing wood boards by making them straight and smooth, ready for further crafting with tools like mortisers, saws, and shapers. These jointers, featuring various capacities and powered by single-phase TEFC motors, have long infeed and outfeed tables, precise adjustment controls, and special hand wheels for fence tilting. Notably, many models use helical cutter heads with staggered knives, making material removal more efficient and reducing noise, contributing to better prepared wood pieces.

Among these, Powermatic parallelogram jointers stand out with their distinctive table shapes, allowing easier and faster adjustments for cuts. This structure ensures consistent contact with the material, enhancing accuracy. Other jointer features include protective fence inserts, adjustable fence tilts, and options for various cutter head designs, catering to different tasks. Some also offer extensions for specific jobs and compatibility with dust collection systems, common in woodworking environments. These jointers, known for precision, set the stage for subsequent woodworking processes, helping professionals maintain quality from the start of a project.
