And because it can create 20,000 cuts per minute, the 209 is the perfect tool for high-capacity jobs. Accurate and dependable, this planer's powerful motor, smooth feeds, and robust construction make it a true workhorse that is a must-have for every professional woodworking shop. Powerful Motor and Cutterhead for Big Results The 209 owes its vigorous performance to a five-horsepower motor. Power is transferred from the motor directly to the four- cutterhead at 5,000 RRM, which allows for up to 20,000 cuts per minute. This robust design not only means you'll be able to get jobs done quickly, but you'll also be able to tackle workpieces up to eight inches thick and 20 inches wide (minimum length of 6-3/4 inches).For exceptional finishes, anti-kickback fingers and a pressure bar are located in close proximity to the cutterhead. Smooth Infeeds and Outfeeds The Powermatic 209 offers two feed speeds--24 and 31 feet per minute--and the option of upgrading to four speeds via the gear box and included parts. With this planer, even heavy loads are no problem, as the 209 automatically slows the feed rollers to ensure smooth cuts. To help you return heavy boards to the infeed, there are two heavy-duty return rollers located on top of the machine. Adjustable, Durable Tables and Convenient Dust Port The 209's tables are made of cast iron with polished, precision-ground surfaces for durability and easy feeds. A pair of extension wings lets you handle larger workpieces, and four posts give you plenty of workpiece support. For convenience, a five-inch dust port hooks up to your dust collection system for improved visibility while you work.
