Product Summary

The Powermatic 209 Planer is a heavy-duty planer with standard features not found on other machines in its class. The powerful 5 HP motor and 20in. planing capacity will handle the most demanding work. The 5in. dust port connects easily to any dust collector. The cutterhead has 4 high-speed steel knives and turns at 5000 RPM, producing 20,000 cuts per minute. The anti-kickback fingers and pressure bar are located in close proximity to the cutterhead for an exceptional finish. The solid cast iron base, table and head are designed for production. The 2-speed oil bath gearbox transmits full power to feed rollers and facilitates fast speed changes at 24 and 31 FPM. The gearbox can be changed to 4-speed with the included gear to run lower speeds of 16 and 20 FPM. The corrugated infeed and fine groove outfeed rollers ensure a smooth feed. The precision-ground and polished cast iron table rides on 4 steel columns, giving it plenty of support for the larger workpiece. Heavy cast iron extension wings ensure a flat, smooth cut.

  1. What does DRO stand for? Can this lathe be equipped with a copy attachment?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. We appreciate your inquiry. DRO stands for Digital Readout. It’s a system commonly used on machine tools (like milling machines, lathes, and drill presses) to display precise measurements of the tool’s position along different axes. DROs help improve accuracy and efficiency by giving real-time feedback, so operators don’t have to rely solely on manual scales or dials. This lathe is compatible with the T27313 Copy Attachment.

  2. is any belt changes needed to change speeds

    1 answer

    1. We appreciate your question. No, this uses a Reeves pulley drive, so the pulleys aren’t stepped. The speed is adjusted only with the control lever on the front.

  3. Can it be modified to have reverse?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. Thanks for asking. No, we do not suggest modifying the machine and doing so would void the warranty.

  4. Does it have reverse speed?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. We appreciate you asking. No, this does not have reverse.

  5. What model has a tool rest post 1 inch or bigger?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. Thank you for getting in touch with us. The G0462 has a tool post diameter of 1", but we do not have anything larger than that.

  6. when did this model come out on the market?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. Thanks for reaching out to our team. The W1758 has been in production since around 2018.

  7. Where is this manufactured?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. Thank you for reaching out. The wood lathe is manufactured in China.

  8. Is the Grizzly 16/46 a twin?

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. We appreciate your question. The two main differences between the G0462 and the W1758 are color and the length of the warranty. The Grizzly machine comes with a one-year warranty, while the Shop Fox offers a two-year warranty.

  9. Can you cut out the inside to make like a cup

    1 answer
    Originally posted on grizzly.com

    1. We appreciate your inquiry. The lathe is capable of creating cups and bowls.

  10. can the T27313 duplicator be used on this lathe?

    1 answer
