Powermatic HSS Knives 8-1/16" X 11/16" X 1/8" for 60, 60A, 60B & PH882 Jointers, SET/3

Powermatic HSS Knives 8-1/16 For Jointer Cutting

Powermatic HSS knives 8-1/16 are high speed steel jointer knives sized at 8-1/16 x 11/16 x 1/8, so they match the cutterhead dimensions these machines are designed around and keep your cut geometry consistent across the full width. The set supplies three identical knives, which aligns with the three-knife cutterhead layout on compatible Powermatic jointers and maintains balanced cutting action along the head. Being HSS blades means the cutting edges are made from high speed steel, which handles typical woodworking jointer workloads and supports a clean shearing cut on common shop species. These HSS jointer knives are identified under manufacturer part number PM9-6296046, tying directly to Powermatic documentation for these machines and helping you match the correct replacement part. The knives are classified for jointers/planers, so they are intended for the surfacing and flattening work that these machines perform every day.

Key Details Of These Powermatic Jointer Knives

• The 8-1/16 inch length works with 60, 60A, 60B, and PJ882 jointers, so the cutting edges span the intended width and support full-face passes without leaving uncut strips at the edges.
• The 11/16 inch height gives each blade enough depth to be referenced in typical jointer knife setting methods, which supports establishing an even projection above the cutterhead for straight, parallel cuts.
• The 1/8 inch thickness provides a stable cross-section in the cutterhead slot, which helps the knives seat securely and resist movement during operation as the head rotates at normal jointer speeds.
• The HSS blade material is suited to jointer and planer use, so the cutting edge can handle repeated passes on common wood species while maintaining the profile needed for consistent surfacing.
• The blades are organized as a set of 3, aligning with three-knife cutterheads on these Powermatic machines and helping keep all cutting edges matched in length, thickness, and material for uniform results.

Installation Fit For Powermatic 60 Series And PJ882

These HSS blades for 60 60A 60B PJ882 match the cutterhead size used on those Powermatic jointers, so when they are placed in the head they sit across the full working width. The 8-1/16 inch length aligns with the head body, helping each end of the knife register correctly in the slots without overhang. Their 1/8 inch thickness means they occupy the cutterhead pockets as intended, supporting even clamping along the full length during installation. Because they are manufactured for 60, 60A, 60B, and PJ882 jointers, the three blades work together in the three-knife head format these tools use, helping preserve the factory cutting geometry once they are set to height.

How These Powermatic Knives Support Jointer Work

Where These Powermatic Jointer Knives Are Used

These Powermatic HSS blades for jointers are specified for Powermatic 60, 60A, 60B, and PJ882 jointers, so they are used directly in the cutterheads of these machines during surfacing work. With dimensions of 8-1/16 x 11/16 x 1/8, each knife fits the head that Powermatic designed for these models, so the blade edges track correctly under the infeed and outfeed tables. As jointer/planer class components, these knives play the cutting role in flattening and straightening stock faces or edges, providing the shearing action that removes material as the board passes across the tables. The HSS construction suits the expected jointer tasks on wood, allowing the machine to carry out typical planing or jointing passes on boards sized for these models while maintaining the intended cutting pattern along the full width of the head.

Details That Help Maintain Consistent Jointer Results

The 8-1/16 inch length of each knife ensures that, once set in a 60, 60A, 60B, or PJ882 cutterhead, the blades cover the active width, so each pass engages the entire board face within that span. The 11/16 inch height offers enough body above the head to support repeated setting and regrinding cycles, which helps retain a usable edge position relative to the tables over time. At 1/8 inch thick, the cross-section provides a solid bearing surface inside the head, so the clamping bars can grip the knives uniformly along their length, supporting a consistent arc as the head rotates. The set of 3 blades corresponds to the three-knife configuration that these Powermatic jointers use, helping keep all cutting edges synchronized in diameter once adjusted, which in turn supports smooth-feeling cuts and predictable stock removal along the board. Identifying the knives as PM9-6296046 connects them directly to Powermatic parts listings, helping align the physical characteristics of the blades with the intended jointer models when selecting replacements.
