POWERMATIC PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer

When you require the ultimate in accuracy, capacity and user-

friendly features, the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer fits the

bill – and then some.

Built from heavy-duty iron castings for long-term durability the PJ-

882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer weighs in at a hefty 744 lbs. The

full 8” cut width and 82” overall bed length make straightening the

largest project pieces exceptionally accurate. Add the fully

adjustable parallelogram tables, easy knife setting and the PJ-

882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer rises above the competition.

There are four variations of the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer,

all are identical except for the motor/power or cutterhead design.

The machine in the accompanying photos is the PJ-882HH

(#1610082) that comes with a 2HP motor wired for 220V, 1 phase

power and is equipped with a helical cutterhead. The PJ-882HH

(#1610083) is also equipped with the helical cutterhead but has a

3HP motor wired for 230V (460V capable) and 3 phase power. The PJ-882 (#1610079) has our

three knife cutterhead and is powered by a 2HP motor running on 220V, 1 phase power. The PJ-

882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer (#1610080) also has our three knife cutterhead but has a 3HP, 3

phase motor that runs on 230/460V power. All four motors are TEFC (totally enclosed fan

cooled) design.

If power, capability and

durability are important, the

Powermatic PJ-882 8” Jointer

fits the bill – and then some.

Base Cabinet

The fully welded, all steel base cabinet provides a solid platform for

the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer. At 20 ½”-long by 15”-deep

and 20 ½”-tall, the base cabinet puts the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram

Jointer bed at a comfortable 31 5/16” above the floor.

The all-steel base cabinet

provides solid footing, houses

the motor and sends the dust to

the 4”-diameter port.

The base cabinet also houses the motor and its adjustable mount for

adjusting belt tension when necessary. A door on the rear of the base

cabinet provides ample access to the motor and its mount. All of the

wiring and electronic components are also housed within the base

cabinet, including the magnetic starter.

An on/off switch is mounted to a mast that puts it within easy reach while operating the PJ-

882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer.

Also contained within the base cabinet is an effective dust evacuation chute. The chute runs from

under the cutterhead to a 4”-diameter outlet fitting located near the floor on the end of the base

cabinet. Positioning the dust outlet low on the base helps to keep the hose flat on the floor to be

less of a trip hazard. This position also creates a more direct path that enhances evacuation of the

Parallelogram Tables For a jointer to straighten wood accurately the infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar - perfectly aligned with each other side-to-side and front-to-back. The tables on the PJ882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer have been accurately aligned at the factory but they could possibly need adjustment in the future.

Helical Cutterhead There are many cutterhead designs that carry the helical label, including simple straight blades broken into segments and dispersed around the cutterhead cylinder. However, despite the name, they retain many of the liabilities of the long blade designs. While designing the PJ882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer we wanted to incorporate the performance of a true segmented, shear-cutting helical head.
