ArmorGlide 12-Inch Parallelogram Jointer, Helical, 230V 1Ph (1285T)

The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a helical cutterhead and 230V single-phase power combines proven jointing performance with advanced surface protection. ArmorGlide Technology provides a low-friction, rust-resistant table coating that improves material flow and reduces maintenance over time. Powered by a 3 HP motor, this jointer delivers smooth, controlled cutting across the full 12-inch width, while the helical cutterhead uses staggered carbide inserts to reduce noise and tear-out while extending edge life. The parallelogram table design keeps the cutterhead close to the tables for improved finish quality and allows fast, precise depth adjustments without affecting table alignment. A large center-mounted fence adjusts easily through a rack-and-pinion system with ram lock, and preset stops enable quick positioning at 45 degrees and a repeatable 90-degree setting. Built with heavy-duty cast iron construction, this jointer is designed for accuracy and durability in professional woodworking environments.
