The Powermatic 60HH helical head jointer is designed for precision jointing with enhanced ease of use. The infeed table lever can be used to rapidly position table height, then the handle rotated for fine-adjustment of cut depth. Fence tilting is accomplished by a worm gear system, smoothly operated by a simple handwheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tables provide 73\" long extended support. A non-mar insert in the fence protects the table from scratches during adjustments. The jointer is available with a three knife cutterhead, or a helical cutterhead with four-sided knife inserts.
