Amazon. com 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 ValueCapable 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. 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 CutterheadDespite 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 209HH is also very quiet during operation. 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. 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 CollectionThe 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. The 209HH is backed by a five-year warranty.
