Powermatic 201 planer 7.5HP 1Ph 230V uses a straight knife cutterhead with 4 high speed steel knives, so each pass shears the stock cleanly, which matters when you want smooth surfaces ready for further machining or finishing. The segmented infeed roller works with a sectional chipbreaker, so boards of multiple heights feed effectively, which helps when processing mixed rough stock in one run. All cast iron construction stabilizes the machine during cutting, which supports accurate planing under continuous shop use. The heavy cast iron table travels on two large lead screws, so the bed moves up and down in a controlled, parallel path, which helps keep planed thickness consistent across the width. Roller bearing-mounted feed rollers turn smoothly under load, which supports steady stock movement and long service life in a production setting.
The Powermatic 201 planer 7.5HP 1Ph 230V runs on single-phase 230 volt power, so it is suited to shops wired for that supply, which matters when integrating the machine into existing electrical layouts. The straight knife cutterhead with 4 high speed steel knives cuts along the full width, which supports predictable knife setting practices across all knives for consistent results. With the table riding on two large lead screws, height adjustments move the cast iron bed evenly, which helps when dialing in target thicknesses for runs of matching parts. The dust chute with 5 inch port connects into a dust collection run, which helps pull chips away from the knives so the cutterhead can maintain its cutting efficiency on longer passes.
The segmented infeed roller on the Powermatic 201 planer is combined with a sectional chipbreaker, so each section responds to the stock under it, which helps when feeding boards that vary in thickness in the same batch. This arrangement supports processing rough lumber without needing every piece identical in height, which is useful when breaking down random-width or mill-run material. Two feed speeds of 20 and 30 feet per minute let you choose a slower rate for finer finish passes or a faster rate for initial dimensioning, which helps match machine time to job requirements. The heavy cast iron table supports the workpiece across its length, and because it travels on two large lead screws, the surface stays level as height changes, which matters when planing multiple pieces to the same finished dimension.
The straight knife cutterhead with 4 high speed steel knives presents multiple cutting edges to the work, which spreads the cutting load and supports smoother surfaces on hardwood or softwood stock. High speed steel knives handle the cutting action at the cutterhead, which provides a cutting edge suited to general woodworking applications. Roller bearing-mounted feed rollers carry the stock through the cut with reduced friction at the bearings, which supports smoother feed and contributes to long service intervals in a busy shop. All cast iron construction adds weight and rigidity to the planer body, which helps dampen cutting forces for more accurate thicknessing over time. The dust chute with 5 inch port directs chips toward dust collection, which helps keep debris away from the feed rollers and knives, supporting consistent feeding and surface quality throughout longer runs.
The Powermatic 201 planer uses a straight knife cutterhead with 4 high speed steel knives, which provides a uniform cutting action for smooth planed surfaces.
The planer offers feed speeds of 20 and 30 feet per minute, so you can use the slower speed for finer finish passes and the faster speed for quicker stock removal.
The segmented infeed roller works with a sectional chipbreaker to handle multiple height stock, which supports running boards of varying thickness in the same setup.
The heavy cast iron table travels on two large lead screws, keeping the bed movement aligned and helping maintain consistent finished thickness across the workpiece.
Roller bearing-mounted feed rollers reduce friction as stock moves through, which supports smooth feeding and contributes to long roller life in regular shop work.
The Powermatic 201 planer has a dust chute with a 5 inch port, which connects to dust collection to remove chips from the cutterhead area during planing.
The Powermatic 201 planer 7.5HP 1Ph 230V combines a straight knife cutterhead with 4 high speed steel knives, cast iron construction, and dual feed speeds, which supports both rough dimensioning and finer finish passes in a woodworking shop. The segmented infeed roller with sectional chipbreaker handles multiple height stock, while the heavy cast iron table on two large lead screws supports accurate thickness control. The dust chute with 5 inch port ties the planer into dust collection, which helps maintain clear cutting conditions across repeated runs.
