Now featuring ArmorGlide Technology, the Powermatic PJ882T 8-Inch Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a machine loaded with features. This machine has an extra-long 82" bed for better work support, and is equipped with an innovative single handwheel design that tilts the fence in and out with positive stops at +/-45 and 90 degrees. A non-mar insert in the fence contacts the table to avoid scratching the surface during adjustments.

The parallelogram design keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead for improved finish, and allows for a fast depth of cut adjustment. This design also ensures the table remains perfectly parallel, even after years of tough duty. The 1/8" depth limiter control knob gives you quick adjustment ability and safety. A simple twist of the knob will disable this feature.

The cutterhead is a helical design with 54 four-sided knife inserts. These inserts produce a superior finish and much quieter operation than conventional cutterheads, and the inserts do not require adjustment once installed. The 2hp motor is totally enclosed in a heavy steel stand, providing plenty of power and stability for the most demanding jobs.

ArmorGlide Technology pros:

• Enhanced visibility: The dark surface reduces glare, so you can see where you're cutting better.
• Rust resistant: Ditch the steel wool and never worry about rust again.
• Low friction: Coated tables require 50% less force, so you get more control.
• Maintenance-free: Get rid of the waxes and messy cleaning supplies, so you can do more of what you love.
• Durable coating: ArmorGlide tables can withstand 250,000 passes without showing signs of wear.
