out should something go wrong under the cutterhead. A pressure bar located close to
the cutterhead increases the stability of the wood to help the POWERMATIC
PM201HH, 22" Planer
produce an exceptional
finish. Infeed and outfeed
rollers, cutterhead and
many other rotating parts
turn in high quality roller
bearings that extend their
lifespan, increase accuracy
and reduce maintenance.
The 3”-diameter sectional
infeed roller system and
chip breaker are specially
designed to allow feeding
multiple boards with
different thicknesses through the POWERMATIC PM201HH, 22" Planer simultaneously.
This feed system also
accepts work pieces
with uneven surfaces,
moving them
consistently so they
are machined correctly
the first time.
Adjustment of the feed and roller systems is easy with top-mounted
adjusters. (left) All of the major rotating parts run in high quality ball bearings
(right) for maximum accuracy and life with minimal downtime.
A pair of adjustable
bed rollers facilitates
both rough and finish
planing. These bed
rollers are adjustable
from outside of the
POWERMATIC
PM201HH, 22" Planer so “on the fly” corrections are easy to make without having to
disturb the table height setting and delaying production. The
solid steel outfeed roller is machined with small serrations to
insure a smooth finish yet provide positive feeding.
The twin in-bed rollers are adjustable from the front of the PM201HH (left) so
these changes can be made quickly without disturbing cut depth. The cutterhead
is powered by a dual belt and the rollers with a slip-free chain drive. (right)
Changing feed rates is done “on-
the-fly” with this handle on the
front of the PM201HH.
The two-speed gearbox that drives the feed rollers is quickly
shifted with a handle at the front of the POWERMATIC
PM201HH, 22" Planer. Changing between the 20 and 30
fpm (feet per minute) feed rates is done while the machine
is running (only) and makes switching from rough to finish
planing easy. Heavy-duty side rollers guide the stock so it
moves beneath the cutterhead properly.
