Powermatic PJ882 8-Inch Parallelogram Jointer, Straight Knife, 2 HP, 230V 1Ph

The Powermatic PJ882 is an 8-inch parallelogram jointer with an extra-long 83-inch table and a 2 HP, 230V single-phase motor. The cutterhead runs at 7,000 RPM with 3 straight knives.

The parallelogram design allows independent adjustment of sections of the infeed and outfeed tables, so the tables remain parallel with the cutterhead and with each other. A 1/8-inch depth limiter knob controls how much comes off in one pass.

Straight-Knife Cutterhead

Three 8-inch straight knives turn at 7,000 RPM for 21,000 cuts per minute, and an aluminum knife gauge is included for setting them.

Fence and Controls

The 38 x 4-3/4 inch fence tilts 45 degrees forward and back with positive stops at -45, 90 and +45 degrees, adjusted with a single handwheel. The start/stop switch mounts on a switch arm and has a magnetic safety key.

Powermatic jointer questions

Can it run on 115V?

No. Powermatic’s manual says the single-phase jointer is designed for 230V only and should be on a dedicated circuit of at least 20 amps.

How deep can it cut?

Up to 1/8 inch per pass across the full 8-inch width. It also cuts rabbets up to 1/2 inch.

What is a parallelogram jointer?

Powermatic’s parallelogram design allows independent adjustment of sections of the infeed and outfeed tables, so the tables remain parallel with the cutterhead and with each other.

What warranty does it carry?

Powermatic covers it with its 5-year warranty (2 years for commercial or industrial use).
