The Powermatic 22-inch helical head planer is built for shops that demand accuracy, durability, and continuous-duty performance. Weighing over 1,300 pounds, its heavy cast iron construction delivers the rigidity required for consistent, vibration-free planing over years of use.

The helical cutterhead features 125 four-sided indexable carbide inserts, producing a superior surface finish with reduced tear-out and significantly quieter operation than straight knives. Inserts require no height adjustment and can be rotated to extend cutting life, minimizing downtime in production environments.

A massive ribbed cast iron table, precision ground and raised smoothly by handwheel, provides exceptional stability. Segmented infeed rollers and a sectional chip breaker allow multiple boards of varying thickness to be planed simultaneously, while adjustable bed rollers support both rough stock removal and fine finishing.

Roller-bearing-mounted infeed and outfeed rollers ensure smooth, long-lasting operation. A two-speed gearbox (20/30 FPM) lets operators switch quickly between heavy material removal and finish passes. The hinged top allows easy access for maintenance, and a 5-inch dust port integrates cleanly with shop dust collection systems.

Powered by a 7-1/2 HP, 230V single-phase motor, the 201HH is engineered for small to mid-sized professional shops with demanding, continuous planing requirements.
