The PJ-882H Parallelogram Jointer offers performance and value in a machine loaded with features. The cutterhead is a helical design with 54 four-sided knife inserts. These produce a superior finish and much quieter operation compared to conventional cutterheads and the inserts do not require adjustment once installed. The jointer has an extra-long 82 in. bed for better work support and is equipped with an innovative single hand-wheel design that tilts the fence in and out with positive stops at +/- 45 degrees and 90 degrees. A non-mar insert in the fence contacts the table to avoid scratching the surface during adjustments. The parallelogram design keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead. The 2 HP motor is totally enclosed in a heavy steel stand providing plenty of power and stability for the most demanding jobs.
