Product Details
The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a helical cutterhead and 460V three-phase power is designed for industrial shops requiring continuous-duty operation and reduced downtime. The ArmorGlide-coated tables resist corrosion and lower friction, allowing stock to move smoothly even in humid shop conditions. A 3 HP three-phase motor provides consistent power, driving the helical cutterhead at speeds up to 5,000 RPM for quiet operation and clean surface results. The parallelogram system maintains precise table alignment while enabling quick depth-of-cut changes. A heavy center-mounted fence features rack-and-pinion adjustment with secure locking and preset angle stops for fast, accurate setup. With its rigid cast iron build and advanced cutterhead design, this jointer delivers reliable performance for high-volume jointing applications.
Features
- ArmorGlide-coated cast iron tables reduce friction and resist corrosion, helping stock feed smoothly and lowering long-term maintenance needs
- Three-phase 3 HP motor delivers steady, continuous-duty power for high-volume jointing without performance drop-off
- Helical cutterhead uses 42 two-sided carbide inserts to produce quieter cuts, reduced tear-out, and quick edge rotation without adjustment
- Parallelogram table system maintains precise cutterhead alignment while allowing fast, accurate depth-of-cut changes
- Large 12-inch by 84-inch precision-ground cast iron table supports long boards with stability and consistent jointing accuracy
- Center-mounted cast iron fence adjusts smoothly via rack-and-pinion mechanism for controlled positioning and repeatable setups
- Fence preset stops provide quick, reliable positioning at common angles including 45 degrees and a positive 90-degree stop
- Heavy cast iron construction minimizes vibration for smoother operation and improved surface consistency
- Cast iron table lips positioned near the cutterhead help dampen operating noise during jointing passes
- Designed for controlled cutting depths up to 1/8 inch for jointing and up to 1/2 inch for rabbeting operations
