12″ Parallelogram Jointer (1285HHT)
Now featuring ArmorGlide Technology that is low-friction and rust-resistant, the Powermatic 1285T, 12-Inch Jointer offers big capacity and performance in a machine that is loaded with features. A large center-mounted fence assembly adjusts easily by a rack and pinion system with ram lock. Preset stops on the fence body allow for fast angle set-up at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles. 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 tables remain perfectly parallel even after years of tough duty. This model features a helical cutterhead.
