Description
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.
Features
- ArmorGlide-coated cast iron tables reduce friction and resist corrosion, allowing smoother stock movement and reduced upkeep in demanding shop environments
- Three-phase 3 HP motor delivers consistent power across heavy jointing loads for reliable performance in production applications
- Helical cutterhead uses 42 two-sided carbide inserts to deliver quieter cuts, reduced tear-out, and fast edge rotation without knife adjustments
- Parallelogram table system keeps tables precisely aligned to the cutterhead while enabling quick and accurate depth-of-cut changes
- Large 12-inch by 84-inch precision-ground cast iron table supports long stock with improved stability and jointing accuracy
- Center-mounted cast iron fence adjusts smoothly through a rack-and-pinion mechanism for controlled positioning and repeatable setups
- Fence preset stops allow fast, repeatable positioning at common angles including 45 degrees and a positive 90-degree stop
- Heavy-duty cast iron construction minimizes vibration for smoother operation and more consistent surface results
- Cast iron table lips positioned near the cutterhead help dampen operating noise during cutting passes
- Designed for controlled cutting depths up to 1/8 inch for jointing and up to 1/2 inch when rabbeting
