The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a helical cutterhead and 460V three-phase power is designed for industrial shops requiring continuous-duty operation and reduced downtime. The ArmorGlide-coated tables resist corrosion and lower friction, allowing stock to move smoothly even in humid shop conditions. A 3 HP three-phase motor provides consistent power, driving the helical cutterhead at speeds up to 5,000 RPM for quiet operation and clean surface results. The parallelogram system maintains precise table alignment while enabling quick depth-of-cut changes. A heavy center-mounted fence features rack-and-pinion adjustment with secure locking and preset angle stops for fast, accurate setup. With its rigid cast iron build and advanced cutterhead design, this jointer delivers reliable performance for high-volume jointing applications.

We reserve the right to determine the fastest and most cost-effective manner of transportation for all orders that qualify for free shipping. Our shipping carriers cannot deliver to PO box or U.S. military post office box addresses, such as APO and FPO, so we require a physical street address for delivery. We use USPS, which typically takes 2-8 days for delivery, depending on your location, for smaller items and UPS Ground for all other ground shipments under 150 pounds.

• Returns: We accept returns and exchanges for a fee up to 30 days in unopened, new, and unused condition in the original packaging. Exceptions apply.

Please note, NO REFUNDS will be given on any new, used, or damaged item if it is not returned in the original packaging, no matter what condition the packaging is in. If the item qualifies for free shipping, you will be charged the original shipping cost and are responsible for shipping the product back with the shipping carrier of your choice.

We must receive the item undamaged. We recommend you package it accordingly and purchase insurance for higher-priced items to ensure you receive the full refund minus any incurred fees as applicable. We reserve the right to refuse the return of accessories.
