3HP motor wired for 230V (460V capable) and 3 phase power. The PJ-882 (#1610079) has our
three knife cutterhead and is powered by a 2HP motor running on 220V, 1 phase power. The PJ-
882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer (#1610080) also has our three knife cutterhead but has a 3HP, 3

Base Cabinet
The fully welded, all steel base cabinet provides a solid platform for
the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer. At 20 ½”-long by 15”-deep
and 20 ½”-tall, the base cabinet puts the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram
Jointer bed at a comfortable 31 5/16” above the floor.
The all-steel base cabinet
provides solid footing, houses
the motor and sends the dust to
the 4”-diameter port.
The base cabinet also houses the motor and its adjustable mount for
adjusting belt tension when necessary. A door on the rear of the base
cabinet provides ample access to the motor and its mount. All of the
wiring and electronic components are also housed within the base
cabinet, including the magnetic starter.
An on/off switch is mounted to a mast that puts it within easy reach while operating the PJ-
882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer.
Also contained within the base cabinet is an effective dust evacuation chute. The chute runs from
under the cutterhead to a 4”-diameter outlet fitting located near the floor on the end of the base
cabinet. Positioning the dust outlet low on the base helps to keep the hose flat on the floor to be
less of a trip hazard. This position also creates a more direct path that enhances evacuation of the
