PM15
Planer/Molder
The new PM15 from Powermatic is loaded with features that make it a standout. Large 5HP motor gives the unit 15" wide planing capacity and enough power to run double knife sets for molding.
■ The stand is fully enclosed and is equipped with integral casters for shop mobility. ■ Two feed speeds, 10 and 20 fpm’s allow you to run quickly for maximum stock removal yet slower speeds yield a fine milled finish on decorative moldings.
■ Opening the hinged top with 4" dust collection port exposes the cutterhead, allowing for fast and easy tooling changes. This machine can use either single molding knives or 3 knife sets, whichever you choose.
■ A long list of available accessories will make this machine a valuable addition to any shop.
