Powermatic 1610079 Model PJ882 8-Inch 2 Horsepower Parallelogram Jointer, 230-Volt 1 Phase

Powermatic 1610079 Model PJ882 8-Inch 2 Horsepower Parallelogram Jointer, 230-Volt 1 Phase Review



Powermatic 1610079 Model PJ882 8-Inch 2 Horsepower Parallelogram Jointer, 230-Volt 1 Phase Feature

  • Infeed/outfeed surface measures 8-by-82-Inch
  • Depth of cut limitation easily overridden for rabbeting cuts
  • Fence tilts 45 degrees to back and front; handwheel operation
  • No-mar fence insert keeps beds pristine during fence adjusent
  • 7,000 rpm cutterhead gives you 21,000 cuts per minute; limited lifetime warranty
When we look at jointers, there are a couple of tests at the top of our list, and this model aces them all.

First, it’s got a generous 8-inch wide bed, and you can’t do better than that. But icing on the cake is the bed’s luxuriously long 82 inches, giving you absolute support and accuracy on the infeed side. We like the way the infeed table travels up and down; instead of a handwheel, you just loosen the locking lever and move the long-handled table adjustment arm. Leverage is our friend, and there’ll be no more skinned knuckles! Lock the lever again and you’re ready to cut. When you want to cut rabbets – a beautifully simple job on this jointer -- override the 1/8-inch depth limit by turning the control knob. Twist it again to re-engage this feature. The outfeed table adjusts to knife height easily, should your jointer not retain its factory setting during shipment. It’s worth checking.

We like this fence best of all the competitors for a couple of reasons. There’s a non-marring insert in the fence contacts that prevent scratching the infeed and outfeed tables while you’re adjusting it. The fence rides smoothly across the beds and locks easily. But its best trick is tilting 45 degrees – both forward and backward, giving you a total angle to the back of 135 degrees for beveling. And instead of grasping the whole fence to tilt it, this one moves beautifully by handwheel.

The three-knife cutterhead should be perfectly adjusted from the factory, but to be safe, we recommend checking it before running any stock. The head turns at 7,000 rpm, giving you 21,000 cuts per minute and a super-smooth surface.

The final feature that won our admiration is the placement of the power switch. You’ll find it below the infeed bed on most jointers, but on this Powermatic, it’s positioned on its own arm above the infeed table. We like this spot best for safety’s sake – a jointer is a beautiful machine, but with just a little operator error, it has the potential to maim. Having the power switch in the open just makes good safety sense.

We recognize that a jointer like this is a big investment, but we trust the Powermatic name for quality, reliability and a long life. You won’t regret this purchase. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste Includes PJ-882 8-in Parallelogram Jointer - 1610079

Purist furniture makers frown on the plate joiner, or biscuit joiner as it's often called, but this model might change a few minds. The joinery ease is unparalleled with this method, and Makita really knows its business. This model offers a 10,000 rpm, 5.6 amp motor, six cutting depths for different biscuit sizes, and a precision fence that angles with positive stops at 0, 45, and 90 degrees. Changing biscuit sizes is as quick and easy as turning the adjustment dial. The rack-and-pinion fence's action is as smooth as any on the market at this level, and our test cuts were clean and dead-on accurate. Sure, you can keep on cutting mortise and tenon joints if you want to, but the smart woodworker is taking one of these home. For us, it falls squarely into the gotta-get-one category. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Powerful 15 Amp Motor for Clean Cuts
Benchtop planers are a long-term investment that allow you to save money over time by buying rough stock and dimensioning it yourself. They also make creating custom materials easier, which, in turn, makes getting great results easier.

The DW735 13-Inch Planer's powerful 15 amp motor can handle deep cuts in tough hardwoods. Its three-knife cutterhead and two-speed gearbox deliver 96 or 179 cuts per inch (cpi). Use 96 cpi when dimensioning material and 179 cpi for a finer finish.

Reversible, Disposable Knives for Convenience
The DEWALT DW734 uses razor sharp knives that are reversible and disposable. These knives last 30 percent longer than traditional disposable knives, helping you avoid costly and time-consuming resharpening.

For fast, easy, one-tool knife changes, a set of pins machined on the cutter-head goes through holes machined on the knife. This helps you quickly locate the fresh knife and refasten the knife clamp.

Large Capacity and Easy, Accurate Depth Adjustment
This planer's extra-long infeed and outfeed tables provide 33-1/2 inches of material support. A turret depth stop saves you time when setting the machine at commonly used depths.

In addition, the planer's material-removal gauge and extra-large thickness scale help ensure every pass is accurate. A four-column carriage lock drastically reduces the movement that causes material damage, or snipe, when planning near the end of a board.

This sturdy planer weighs 80 pounds. It offers a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch, a depth capacity of 6 inches, and a width capacity of 12-1/2 inches.

Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection for Dust Management
The DW735 features a Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System with a motorized fan that breaks down debris as it leaves the cutterhead and blows it into one of the two dust shrouds (included). One shroud disperses the chips down onto the shop floor while the other provides a connection for a vacuum hose or dust-collector hose.

This sturdy planer weighs 92 pounds. It offers a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch, a depth capacity of 6 inches, and a width capacity of 13 inches.

The DW735 13-Inch Thickness Two-Speed Planer with Three-Knife Cutterhead also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

What's in the Box

DEWALT DW735
The DW735 planer allows for fast, easy, one-tool knife changes.

Sometimes, half an inch makes all the difference. But that's not the only reason to step up to the 735. Its powerful 10,000 rpm motor will handle anything you feed it--oak, walnut, exotics--with absolute ease. The three-knife cutterhead will make 96 or 179 cuts per inch, depending on which speed setting you choose. Mess is minimized with the fan-assisted chip ejection, which literally vacuums chips off the cutter-head and blows them out the exhaust. The 735's automatic carriage lock will save you from snipe by reducing the movement that causes it--what a great idea. We also love the redesigned thickness scale--it's big and super-visible, even in poor lighting. Those who do repetitive cuts will appreciate the turret depth-stop; set your most-used cuts to it once and you're always assured of accuracy. The home woodworker will be thrilled, and the professional's expectations will be more than met. This is a winner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
