The 209BHH-4 is powered by a 5 HP, three-phase motor factory-wired for 460V, ready to connect directly to high-voltage commercial and industrial electrical systems without modification. Its 20-inch cutting width and 8-inch maximum board thickness capacity enable high-throughput processing of wide panels and heavy stock. The four-row helical cutterhead carries 68 four-sided carbide inserts operating at 5,200 RPM, producing a consistent, professional surface finish with reduced noise and tearout. Individual insert access allows fast rotation or replacement, minimizing production downtime. An integrated digital readout (DRO) provides exact, repeatable thickness control, and two speeds, 16 FPM and 28 FPM, let operators balance finish quality and throughput based on material and schedule demands. Solid cast iron infeed and outfeed tables span a combined 51-1\/2-inch surface, delivering the rigidity and vibration damping required for consistent results at production volumes. A 4-inch bi-directional dust port with a 900 CFM minimum requirement maintains effective chip management, and an oversized emergency stop with upgraded caster locking and braking system supports operator safety in high-use environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by Powermatic's Gold Glove Service and an industry-leading 5-year warranty, the 209BHH is built to earn trust long after it is in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-row helical cutterhead with carbide inserts delivers a smoother finish, operates more quietly, and outlasts straight-knife heads with individual insert rotation for fast, low-cost maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in digital readout displays exact board thickness in real time, enabling precise, repeatable settings that hold across operators and multiple passes without re-measuring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid cast iron infeed and outfeed tables resist flex and damp vibration, keeping long boards supported and the cutting surface consistent from end to end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 16 and 28 FPM feed rates let operators choose between a refined finish pass and aggressive stock removal without any tooling changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch bi-directional dust port connects from either side for flexible placement in the shop, with a 900 CFM minimum capacity for effective chip evacuation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded caster locking and braking system provides rolling mobility for repositioning while securing the machine firmly in place during cuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlarged, high-visibility emergency stop is positioned for immediate access, reducing operator response time and improving overall shop safety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Powermatic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44519594983517,"sku":"PMPM1-480","price":6499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/1342\/3453\/files\/PM1-480_IMG_Main1.jpg?v=1781295774","url":"https:\/\/beavertools.com\/products\/powermatic-209bhh-4-20-helical-cutterhead-planer-5-hp-3ph-460v-pm1-480","provider":"Beaver Industrial Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
