This machine has an extra-long 82\" bed for better work support, and is equipped with an innovative single handwheel design that tilts the fence in and out with positive stops at +\/-45 and 90 degrees. A non-mar insert in the fence contacts the table to avoid scratching the surface during adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parallelogram design keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead for improved finish, and allows for a fast depth of cut adjustment. This design also ensures the table remains perfectly parallel, even after years of tough duty. The 1\/8\" depth limiter control knob gives you quick adjustment ability and safety. A simple twist of the knob will disable this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutterhead is a helical design with 54 four-sided knife inserts. These inserts produce a superior finish and much quieter operation than conventional cutterheads, and the inserts do not require adjustment once installed. The 2hp motor is totally enclosed in a heavy steel stand, providing plenty of power and stability for the most demanding jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced visibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe dark surface reduces glare, so you can see where you're cutting better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDitch the steel wool and never worry about rust again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow friction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCoated tables require 50% less force, so you get more control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGet rid of the waxes and messy cleaning supplies, so you can do more of what you love.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eArmorGlide tables can withstand 250,000 passes without showing signs of wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmorGlide Technology gives you a low-friction, industrial-grade coating on the work surface that is rust resistant, requires less maintenance, and gives you more control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-mount switch for operator convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 8\" x 82\" precision ground cast iron table surface for heavy-duty work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8\" depth limiter control knob gives you quick adjustment ability and safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallelogram design for close table-to-cutterhead proximity and fast depth of cut adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented handwheel with worm gear system for precise fence tilting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}\n.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg .tg-1wig{font-weight:bold;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n.tg .tg-0lax{text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tg\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eStyle (Type)\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003eJointer\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eCutterhead Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e3-1\/16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eCutterhead Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e7,000 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eCutting Capacity (W × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e8\" × 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e2 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eMotor Amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e9 Amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eMotor Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eNumber of Knives\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e54 Four-Sided Inserts\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eDust Port Outside Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eMin.
