Product Details
The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a straight-knife cutterhead and 230V single-phase power provides traditional cutting performance with modern table protection. ArmorGlide Technology creates a low-friction, rust-resistant surface that improves stock movement and extends table life. Driven by a 3 HP motor, the straight-knife cutterhead delivers reliable jointing performance for a wide range of materials. The parallelogram table design allows quick depth-of-cut changes while maintaining consistent alignment for accurate results. A center-mounted fence with rack-and-pinion adjustment offers smooth positioning and includes preset stops for 45-degree angles and a positive 90-degree stop. Heavy cast iron construction throughout the machine enhances stability and vibration control, making this jointer a dependable choice for professional shops that prefer straight-knife systems.
