Product Description
-------------------
This heavy duty planer offers performance and value, loaded with
standard features not found on other machines in its class. The
powerful 5HP motor and 20" planing capacity will handle the most
demanding work. The helical cutterhead provides quieter operation
and finer finishing than conventional systems, and the 100
four-sided carbide inserts seat themselves without
requiring a set-up gauge. The 5" dust port connects easily to any
dust collector. 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 four steel columns giving
it plenty of support for the larger workpiece. Heavy cast iron
extension wings ensure a flat, smooth cut.

Featuring robust construction, a powerful motor, precision-cut
depth adjustments and the legendary Byrd helical cutterhead, the
Five-Horsepower, One-Phase, 230-Volt Powermatic 1791315 209HH
Planer with Byrd Cutterhead sets the standard for modern planers.
It accurately dimensions wood with parallel faces and produces an
ultra-smooth, tear-out-free surface, making it ideal for any
serious woodworker.
Performance and Value
Capable of 3/32-inch-deep cuts on most stock widths, the 209HH
comes with many standard features not found on other machines in
its class.Built atop a fully enclosed, welded-steel base cabinet,
it's equipped with a powerful five-horsepower, 230-volt,
one-phase, TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor ed
within the base cabinet to provide 20-inch planing capacity.
Three V-belts running on precision-machined, multi-groove pulleys
ensure smooth power transmission, while a built-in,
locking-caster system makes moving the 801-pound 209HH around the
shop easy, and keeps it stable during use.
Byrd Helical Cutterhead
Despite carrying the helical moniker, many cutterhead designs
retain many of the liabilities of the long blade designs. In
contrast, the 209HH uses a Byrd helical cutterhead, which is
second to none in terms of efficiency, produced surface quality,
and the long-lived cutting inserts.
The Byrd cutterhead is so effective because its 99 carbide
inserts are arranged in spiral-shaped rows, have a four-inch
radius ground into them, and are ed so that they approach
the wood at a 14-degree angle. The result is a true shear cut
that dramatically reduces impact and the resulting fiber
disturbance other cutterhead designs deliver. The 209HH is also
very quiet during operation.
Feeds and Rollers
The planer has two material-feed-rate ranges with four actual
speeds: 24/31 feet per minute for rough dimensioning and 16/20
feet per minute with gear change for a silky-smooth surface. A
simple push/pull knob on the side easily controls the feed rates,
as well as a chain and sprocket that allow you to change to a
second set of feed rates.
Safe, Dependable Design
For dependability, a serrated, steel infeed roller and a smooth
steel outfeed roller--each precisely set at the factory--include
user-accessible adjustments to keep the 209HH tuned for years to
come. For enhanced operator safety, there's a row of closely
spaced anti-kickback fingers under the infeed side of the
cutterhead housing. They automatically engage the wood as it
enters the cutterhead and help prevent it from being kicked out.
Also, the top rollers make moving long stock back for another cut
easy and safe.
Durable, Stable Construction and Dust Collection
The 209HH is built to last, with a solid cast-iron base, table,
and head, and a precision-ground and polished cast-iron, 20- x
25-1/2-inch (W x D) table that rides on four steel
columns--plenty of support for large workpieces. And heavy,
cast-iron extension wings ensure a flat, smooth cut. To help
maintain a cleaner, ier work environment, there's a
five-inch dust port that connects easily to any dust collector.
The 209HH is backed by a five-year warranty.
