Powermatic 60HH 8 inch jointer gives you a 2HP, 1Ph, 230V machine that flattens stock for accurate joinery, so boards enter your workflow straight and ready for layout. The 8 inch width capacity establishes a solid baseline for typical cabinet and furniture components, letting you face-joint and edge-joint many project parts on one machine. As part of Powermatic Tools jointers/planers class, it is built for shop environments where consistent surfacing supports downstream planing and assembly. The helical head version uses multiple carbide inserts to cut in small bites along the length of the board, which helps keep cuts controlled when feeding workpieces. When you standardize rough-stock preparation through this jointer, later steps like ripping, planing, and glue-ups benefit from more predictable, repeatable reference faces.
The extra-long tables mounted on dovetailed ways create a stable platform as you set table height, so once you dial in a cut depth the workpiece tracks along those ways without the tables shifting out of plane. The helical cutterhead option with 54 four-sided carbide inserts offers a consistent cutting circle as you rotate individual inserts, maintaining your setup over time and reducing interruptions. The alternative 3-blade high-speed steel straight knife cutterhead keeps a classic jointing feel for operators who routinely set and balance straight knives. A high-mount switch and control box keep power and controls near eye and hand level, which reduces time walking to find switches between passes. The handwheel-operated worm gear fence tilt mechanism lets you move the fence through its range in small, predictable increments that support recurring job setups.
The extra-long tables on the Powermatic 60HH 8 inch jointer carry longer workpieces through the cut, giving you more bearing surface when flattening boards used in casework and panel glue-ups. Because those tables ride on dovetailed ways, the joint between infeed and outfeed is guided along a fixed path, so the relationship between them stays consistent as you adjust depth of cut for different rough-stock conditions. The 8 inch capacity fits many face-jointing and edge-jointing tasks common to cabinetry work, allowing you to process boards destined for rails, stiles, and stretchers before moving to a planer or saw. The machine sits in the jointers/planers class within Powermatic Tools machinery, so it naturally anchors the first step in getting reference faces before thicknessing or final dimensioning.
The helical cutterhead configuration with 54 four-sided carbide inserts spreads cutting action across many small edges, which produces a controlled cut that supports smoother feeding and consistent surface quality on repeated passes. When an edge on a carbide insert wears, rotating the insert brings a fresh edge into the same location, helping preserve alignment and reducing the need to alter fence or table settings just to compensate for wear. Shops preferring a 3-blade high-speed steel straight knife cutterhead can tune that setup using familiar procedures, so experienced operators maintain their usual workflows while still benefiting from the jointer's extra-long tables and dovetailed ways. The high-mount switch and control box allow the operator to keep hands near the cutterhead area for feeding while accessing the controls in the same zone, which supports efficient pass-to-pass transitions on production runs. The handwheel-operated worm gear fence tilting system moves the fence smoothly to new angles and then holds that position, helping you repeat edge-jointing angles on multiple pieces when a project calls for consistent bevel joints.
The extra-long tables mounted on dovetailed ways support longer workpieces across both infeed and outfeed, helping boards stay flat and guided as you joint edges and faces for cabinetry or furniture parts.
The helical cutterhead with 54 four-sided carbide inserts divides the cut among many small edges, which supports smoother cuts and lets you rotate inserts for continued performance without changing the setup.
The 3-blade high-speed steel straight knife cutterhead suits shops that prefer traditional knife jointing, keeping a familiar cutting feel while still using the same table, fence, and control layout.
The high-mount switch and control box place controls near the operator's working position, so starting, stopping, and staging multiple passes fits naturally into the feeding workflow.
The handwheel-operated worm gear fence tilt lets you dial in fence angles in small, smooth movements, which helps repeat accurate edge-jointing and bevel settings on multiple pieces.
This Powermatic jointer flattens and straightens boards before planing or ripping, creating reference faces that improve results on downstream jointers/planers class machines and saw setups.
The Powermatic 60HH 8 inch jointer 2HP 1Ph 230V with helical or straight knife cutterhead options lets you align rough boards to the needs of your shop workflow, using extra-long tables, dovetailed ways, and smooth fence tilting to support consistent results. Selecting this machine through Wurth Baer Supply ties your surfacing step to a jointer designed for woodworking environments where accurate reference faces feed directly into planing, ripping, and assembly.
