Powermatic PM15 Planer User Manual


 
PM15 Planer/Molder
The Gold Standard Since 1921.
The new PM15 from Powermatic
is loaded with features that make
it a standout. Large 5HP motor
gives the unit 15" wide planing
capacity and enough power to
run double knife sets for molding.
The stand is fully enclosed and
is equipped with integral casters
for shop mobility. Two feed
speeds, 10 and 20 fpm’s allow
you to run quickly for maximum
stock removal yet slower speeds
yield a fine milled finish on
decorative moldings. Opening
the hinged top with 4" dust
collection port exposes the
cutterhead, allowing for fast
and easy tooling changes. This
machine can use either single
molding knives or 3 knife sets,
whichever you choose. A long
list of available accessories will
make this machine a valuable
addition to any shop.
