Jointer with Helical Cutterhead, 3HP, 1PH, 230V 1791307","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Powermatic 1285HH 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a helical cutterhead and 230V single-phase power is designed for professional shops seeking precision, surface quality, and long-term reliability. Powered by a 3 HP motor, this jointer delivers smooth cutting performance for jointing wide stock and hardwood materials. The helical cutterhead operates at speeds up to 5,000 RPM and uses multiple carbide inserts to reduce noise, minimize tear-out, and extend edge life compared to traditional straight knives. Its parallelogram table system keeps the tables close to the cutterhead for improved finish quality and allows quick, accurate depth-of-cut adjustments while maintaining table alignment over time. A large center-mounted fence adjusts smoothly via a rack-and-pinion mechanism with a ram lock, and preset stops allow fast positioning at 45 degrees in and out, as well as a positive stop at 90 degrees. Built with heavy-duty cast iron components, the 1285HH provides stability and vibration control for consistent results in demanding woodworking environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 HP single-phase motor operating on 230V delivers consistent cutting power for jointing wide stock and dense hardwood material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical cutterhead with 42 two-sided carbide inserts runs up to 5,000 RPM to reduce noise, minimize tear-out, and extend cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallelogram table system keeps tables close to the cutterhead for improved surface finish and fast, accurate depth-of-cut adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 12-inch by 84-inch precision-ground cast iron table provides stable support for long or heavy workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-mounted cast iron fence adjusts smoothly with a rack-and-pinion mechanism for accurate positioning without play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreset fence stops allow quick setup at 45 degrees in and out, with a positive stop at 90 degrees for square jointing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable lips on both sides of the cutterhead help reduce operating noise during jointing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty cast iron construction improves rigidity and vibration control for consistent jointing results over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended maximum cutting depth of 1\/8 inch for non-rabbeting cuts supports controlled material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum rabbeting depth of 1\/2 inch provides flexibility for edge-jointing and joinery tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePM6400013 - Carbide Inserts, Set of 10, for PJ1696 \u0026amp; 1285 Jointers (6400013)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePMPJ1696-011 - Carbide Rabbeting Inserts, Set of 2, for PJ1696 \u0026amp; 1285 Jointers (PJ1696-011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Powermatic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44153689112669,"sku":"PM1791307","price":10449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/1342\/3453\/files\/1791307_main_png.png?v=1777064085","url":"https:\/\/beavertools.com\/products\/1791307-powermatic-model-1285-3hp-1ph-230v-only-helical-head-jointer-woodworking","provider":"Beaver Industrial Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
