Product Summary

Now featuring ArmorGlide Technology that is low-friction and rust-resistant, the Powermatic 1285T 12in. jointer offers big capacity and performance in a machine that is loaded with features. Large center-mounted fence assembly adjusts easily via rack and pinion system with ram lock. Preset stops on the fence body allow for fast angle set-up at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles.
