Description of Powermatic 1791209 Model 15 15-Inch 3 Horsepower Planer, 230-Volt 1 PhaseThe one-piece cast-iron table on Powermatic's 15-inch planer provides terrific infeed and outfeed support for long stock, giving you more accurate results. The infeed/outfeed tables each have three rollers that allow your rough material to feed through the planer with less friction, improving the finished results. The planer accepts a wide variety of stock (up to 6 inches thick), and there's a gauge on the support column that lets you easily view the thickness. A cast-iron hand wheel adjusts the height of the cutterhead and moves smoothly. The conveniently located, two-speed feed-control lever lets you feed at rates of 16 or 20 feet of board per minute. The double-sided knives are easy to access and can be resharpened, saving you time and money. This machine rests on a portable base with casters, so it's easy to move around the workshop. The base is enclosed, too, which helps protect the motor from dirt and dust. To put it simply, this is a durable piece of equipment, ruggedly designed and easy to operate. --Dori Anvinson
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Powermatic 1791209 Model 15 15-Inch 3 Horsepower Planer, 230-Volt 1 PhaseCustomer Review: Three Years Use Summary: 2 StarsI've been using this planer for over three years now. The machine was an easy set-up. It's a must to have a dust collecter attached to it. After set-up I can plane lumber for about 2 hours, then it's time to ajust it again. I plane heavy oak boards that are close to 100 years old from old barns. The height ajustment will not stay locked, and the bottom rolls don't either. First time using this machine the lock screws for the bottom rollers fell out. I am not pleased with this machine at all.
