The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer configured for 230/460V three-phase power offers flexibility and precision for professional production shops. Featuring ArmorGlide Technology, the jointer’s tables provide long-lasting protection against rust while reducing friction for smoother feeding. The 3 HP motor delivers steady power to the helical cutterhead, which uses carbide inserts arranged in a spiral pattern to produce a refined finish with less vibration and noise. Its parallelogram table system allows fast depth adjustments while keeping the tables perfectly aligned with the cutterhead over time. The center-mounted fence adjusts smoothly via rack-and-pinion control and includes preset stops for common angles. Built for durability and accuracy, this jointer is well suited for demanding woodworking operations.

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 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.
