Equipped with a five-horsepower motor that spins the cutterhead at 4,500 RPM, the PM15 can power through the hardest materials with ease.
Great for heavy-duty projects, this machine also has a 15-inch planing capacity--enough to run double molding knife sets--and a cutting speed of 13,500 cuts per minute.
Adjustable Features for Versatility and Precision
To give you maximum versatility and precision, the PM15 offers two feed speeds: 10 and 20 FPM. The lower speed is perfect for projects that require maximum stock removal, the higher speed is ideal for achieving fine milled finishes on decorative moldings.
What's more, the PM15's table height can be adjusted with a chain and sprocket for precise depths of cut. An easy-to-read depth-of-cut scale has a large hand wheel for quick setups, and the hinged top ensures effortless tooling changes.
Durably Designed with a Convenient Dust Port
The PM15's table is made of cast iron with polished, precision-ground surfaces for durability and easy feeds. Four lead screws support the table, and a full cast-iron head assembly supports the feed rollers and cutter head.
For convenience, an integrated dust port hooks up to your dust collection system for improved visibility and a healthier, more pleasant work environment.

The PM15 measures approximately 34.0 x 51.0 x 28.0 inches (WxHxD), weighs 423 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Customer Review: PM15 Powermatic Planer
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I go on with my review of this product, let me say, from my personnel experience, Amazon is a customer oriented operation and will stand behind the products they sell.
I received my PM15 Powermatic planer about a month a go, the unit was delivered in good condition. It took me two to three hours to go through the adjustments and the only discrepancy I found was the table on one side was .006 lower than the other, the measurement was taken in reference to the cutter head and not the cutter blades, however, this I think I can live with.
Last weekend I ran 200 bd. ft. of rough swan poplar through the planer and experienced the same problem reported on feedback Dec.29,2003. I contacted Powermatic Tech. Services, and the Powermatic Rep. told me that the chip breaker was out of adjustment and that the function of the chip breaker was to break-up the chips coming off the cutters so it can clear the planer. When the chip breaker is out of adjustment the cuttings are long and stringy and will clog the unit and eventually get into out feed roller, resulting in a jam. I adjusted the chip breaker and now the planer works great.
P.S. Be sure your vacumm system can keep up.
