Featuring a top-of-the-line helical cutterhead for smooth
cutting and fine finishes, the Powermatic 15HH 15-Inch Planer is
ideal for precision wood dimensioning. Accurate and dependable,
this planer's powerful motor, smooth feeds, precise depth-of-cut
adjustments, robust construction, and integrated dust hood set a
new standard in wood planing.
Byrd Helical Cutterhead for Smooth, Quiet Cuts
A top-of-the-line woodworking tool, the 15HH features Tom Byrd's
famous helical cutterhead. The Byrd cutterhead is made from
stress-proof steel for unrivaled durability, and it is
ultra-efficient thanks to 74 carbide inserts that are arranged in
spiral-shaped rows. These inserts have a four-inch radius ground
into them and are ed to approach your workpiece at a
14-degree angle, so you'll get a true shear cut every time you
use it.While the 15HH is capable of 3/16-inch-deep cuts on most
stock widths, a limiter plate at the center of the cutterhead
limits full-width cuts to 1/8 inch or less. This helps avoid
applying excessive strain on the machine and prevents damage to
the wood.
To top it off, the Byrd cutterhead is incredibly quiet. In fact,
you may not realize it's cutting wood until you see the
remarkable results!
Powerful Motor for Reliable Performances
The 15HH owes its robust performance to a three-horsepower
(continuous duty rating), single-phase, 230-volt TEFC (totally
enclosed fan-cooled) motor. This motor is ed in the planer's
base cabinet, and it is operated by a true magnetic switch
located on the head assembly. For trouble-free maintenance, the
motor features an easily removable, full-length belt cover.
Smooth Infeeds and Outfeeds
The 15HH features a serrated steel infeed roller and a smooth
steel outfeed roller that allow for positive feeding and
non-marring of the wood upon exit.
What's more, the 15HH has two material feed rates: 20 FPM used
primarily for rough dimensioning and 16 FPM used primarily for
smooth dimensioning. The two-speed gearbox features an automatic
chain tensioner and a push/pull knob makes shifting between feed
rates as easy as can be.
Durable, Adjustable, and Maneuverable
The 15-HH's tables are made of cast iron with smooth,
precision-ground surfaces for durability and easy feeds.
Measuring 15 inches wide by 20 inches long, the main table
provides ample space for larger projects. A pair of cast-iron
extension tables (15.75-inches wide by 14 inches long), means you
can expand the table to 48 inches in length.
A large cast-iron handwheel positions the table quickly and
easily, and four posts give you optimum stability. And built
around a fully enclosed welded steel base cabinet, the 15HH
features machined iron casters that ensure durability and
maneuverability--a foot-operated brake lets you lock the casters
into place.
Dust Hood Deflects Debris away from Your Workpiece
To help protect components and improve visibility, an all-metal
dust hood diverts debris from the cutterhead. The hood terminates
with a four-inch diameter port that is conveniently angled to the
side, so the dust collector hose does not interfere with the
exiting stock.
Dimensions and Warranty Information
The 15HH measures approximately 48.0 x 28.0 x 43.5 inches
(WxHxD), weighs 502 pounds, and is backed by a five-year
warranty.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Helical cutterhead on this planer provides smoother cutting and
a finer finish than conventional knives and the 98 four-sided
indexable carbide inserts do not require adjustment after
installing. Three V-belts transfer maximum power from the 3HP
motor to the cutterhead. Your workpiece will get substantial
support from the precision ground cast iron table and two large
extension wings. The 4-Inch dust port angles the collection hose
away from the work area. Stock return rollers atop the machine
speed repetitive cuts. The serrated steel infeed and smooth steel
outfeed roller allow for 1/8-Inch maximum depth of cut and
trouble-free operation. A 2-speed gearbox features an automatic
chain tensioner. The one-piece welded steel stand has built-in
lockable casters fro easy movement around the shop.
