Description
The Powermatic PJ1696T ArmorGlide 16-inch parallelogram jointer configured for 230/460V three-phase power combines high-output cutting performance with enhanced table protection. ArmorGlide Technology creates a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that helps material glide effortlessly across the tables, even in humid shop conditions. A 7.5 HP motor drives the solid steel helical cutterhead, which uses six rows of precision-ground carbide inserts to deliver consistent finish quality and simplified maintenance. The parallelogram table system allows rapid depth-of-cut changes while ensuring the tables remain parallel to the cutterhead throughout years of use. The center-mounted fence adjusts easily through a rack-and-pinion mechanism with a secure locking system and includes preset stops for common jointing angles. Designed for demanding production environments, this jointer delivers accuracy, durability, and long-term reliability.
