The Powermatic 54HH Six-Inch Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
features a superior finish and quieter operation compared to
conventional cutterheads with its helical cutterhead with 40
four-sided, indexable carbide inserts. Designed and built
to make your wood-straightening tasks easy and accurate, this
heavy-duty jointer will remain a vital part of your woodworking
shop for years to come.
Power and Stability
To provide stable footing--the key to optimum accuracy--the 54HH
has a 21- x 13-inch (W x D), all-steel base cabinet that puts the
table surface at a comfortable 32 inches above the floor. The
one-horsepower, one-phase, 115-/230-volt motor (pre-wired for 115
volts) is factory-ed within the base cabinet and can be
converted to use 230-volt power. The motor is on a special
for easy belt-tension adjustments, and the fine/quick adjustment
lever on the infeed table ensures precision cuts.The base also
contains the dust collection chute that evacuates debris from
below the cutterhead via the exterior four-inch-diameter port
near the floor--a design that keeps the hose out of the way to
prevent tripping accidents.
Helical Cutterhead
There are many cutterhead designs that carry the helical moniker,
including simple straight blades broken into segments and
dispersed around the cutterhead cylinder. Despite the helical
label, they retain many of the liabilities of the long-blade
designs. However, the 54HH features a true helical cutterhead
with specially machined carbide inserts arranged in spiral-shaped
rows for effective--and incredibly quiet--performance.
The inserts also have a four-inch radius ground into them and are
ed so they approach the wood at a 14-degree angle. This
creates a true shear cut that eliminates much of the impact and
the resulting fiber disturbance other cutterhead designs deliver.
Also, the durability of the carbide combined with the low-impact,
shear cutting action mean the inserts have an extended life.
Precision Ground Cast-Iron Tables
With a length of 66 inches and a width of 7-1/2 inches, the main
precision-ground cast-iron table is one of the longest available
in this class, providing plenty of support for large workpieces.
It's conveniently ed on dovetailed ways that keep it
perfectly aligned through height changes. Adjustments are easy:
the outfeed table height is adjusted with a handwheel ed
below the table; to adjust the infeed table, the handle can be
moved up and down for coarse height changes or, the long handle
can be rotated to make fine, precise height adjustments.
High-Performance Fence System
The all-cast-iron fence system has a length of 38 inches, height
of four inches--and like the tables--is precisely ground to
ensure straightness. The supporting and tilt mechanism, made up
of large cast-iron pieces, make this system as accurate and
repeatable as it is durable. For versatility, the fence tilts up
to 45-degrees towards and away from the tables.
Also, fully adjustable stops at 90 degrees (vertical) and each
45-degree position make set-up fast and help keep the 54HH
accurate with minimal maintenance, while center-ed controls
make for easy operation.
The 54HH is backed by a five-year warranty.
