POWERMATIC 15HH, 15” Planer

The ability to accurately dimension wood with parallel faces is
crucial to virtually any woodworking task. Producing an ultra
smooth, tear out-free surface at the same time is just as important.
The POWERMATIC 15HH has been designed to handle these tasks
with the accuracy, durability and repeatability you need. Robust
construction, a powerful motor, precision cut depth adjustments and
the legendary Byrd  helical cutterhead are just some of the reasons
the

The Byrd  cutterhead cuts so efficiently that it makes surprisingly little noise when cutting wood. In fact, it is so quiet, new POWERMATIC 15HH users often think it is not cutting wood at all - until they see the results. The shearing effect of the Byrd  cutterhead produces a remarkably smooth surface on even heavily figured wood. The Byrd  cutterhead inserts are precisely machined from solid high-grade carbide, each with four identical cutting edges. If an edge eventually goes d

covers. The operators’ manual included with the POWERMATIC 15HH has a full set of illustrated instructions for making these adjustments. To enhance operator safety, we added a row of closely spaced anti kickback fingers. These steel fingers are gravity operated and require no adjustment. They automatically engage the wood as it enters the cutterhead and help prevent it from being kicked out. While the POWERMATIC 15HH is capable of 3/16”-deep cuts on most stock widths, a limiter plate

revolution of the handwheel produces just over 1/16” of change to make the ultra fine adjustments necessary to hit a specific thickness easy to achieve. Though unlikely, the lead screws can be adjusted individually should the table ever get out of alignment. The table is locked in place by a pair of knobs each securing both lead screws at that end. The locking handles can be moved to either side of the POWERMATIC 15HH to make them more easily accessible if one side has limited access.

metric dimensions with the push of a button. The SET mode is used to program in a dimension and makes “dialing” the DRO in very easy. Plane a board and measure its thickness, preferably using digital calipers. Enter that dimension into the DRO and it is dead on accurate. The Absolute mode (most commonly used) shows the precise distance from the cutterhead to the table with a resolution of thousandths of an inch! Switch to the Relative mode and the DRO considers the present thickness to
