From a family operated corn milling operation in McMinnville, TN. to today’s 400,000 square foot facility in LaVergne, TN., the evolution of Powermatic has echoed the success of polaroid American business ingenuity throughout the 20th Century and into the new millennium.
Powermatic offers a wide variety of planers, from the smaller 15S, with a spiral cutterhead on this planer that provides smoother cutting and a finer finish than conventional knives, to a heavy duty model like the 201HH. This 1300-pound heavy duty cast iron planer offers rock solid rigidity and accurate planing for years to come. The hinged top allows easy access to the rollers and knives, and has a 5” dust port for easy attachment to any dust collection system. The cutterhead is a helical design with 150 four sided knife inserts – these produce a superior finish and much quieter operation compared to conventional cutterheads, and the inserts are installed without further adjustments.
