The infeed table height is adjusted using a unique lever system. This single lever provides both
coarse and fine adjustment capabilities that make tiny changes simple to make with a new level
of accuracy. After loosening the handwheel on the side of the machine, the infeed table
adjustment lever can be used for major infeed table height changes. Snug the locking knob down
and the same adjustment lever can now be rotated (twist the handle) to make very small infeed
table height changes with extreme accuracy. Each full turn of the adjustment lever handle creates
1/16” of infeed table height change. When the infeed table is set to the desired height, a
thumbscrew on the rear can be engaged to secure it.
An easy to read scale on the front side of the infeed table allows setting specific cut changes
quickly and precisely.
Versatile Fence
The all cast iron 4”-tall by 38”-long fence
system is, like the tables, precisely ground to
assure straightness. Even the supporting and
tilt mechanism is made up of large cast iron
pieces that make this system as accurate and
repeatable as it is durable.
The fence tilts up to 45-degrees towards and
away from the tables. Fully adjustable stops at
90-degrees (vertical) and each 45-degree
position make setup fast and help keep the
POWERMATIC 54A/54HH Jointer accurate
with minimal maintenance. The 90-degree stop
is a simple flip-out design that makes releasing or engaging it fast and tool free. An easy to use
locking handle secures the fence at the desired angle.
Whether used in the full vertical (left) or 45-degree position
(right) in or out, the Powermatic 54A/54HH fence provides
plenty of support for truly accurate cuts.
An easy to use handle locks and releases the cross-table movement of the fence. The handle
easily locks the fence in any position across the table and holds it there securely.
