22-Inch Planer, Helical Cutterhead, 7-1/2 HP, 230V 3Ph (201HH)

The Powermatic 22-inch helical head planer delivers the mass, precision, and reliability required in production woodworking environments. With over 1,300 pounds of cast iron construction, it provides the rigidity needed for consistent, accurate planing day after day. Its helical cutterhead is equipped with 125 four-sided indexable carbide inserts, producing a finer finish with reduced tear-out and quieter cutting than conventional straight knives. Inserts rotate easily with no height adjustment, extending cutter life and reducing maintenance time. A precision-ground, ribbed cast iron table rides smoothly on dual lead screws for stable stock support. Segmented infeed rollers and a sectional chip breaker enable efficient planing of multiple boards with varying thicknesses, while adjustable bed rollers support both rough and finish work. Roller-bearing-mounted feed rollers ensure smooth feeding and durability. The two-speed gearbox (20/30 FPM) allows fast transitions between heavy stock removal and final finishing. A hinged top simplifies access for service, and the 5-inch dust port connects easily to central dust collection. Driven by a 7-1/2 HP, 230V three-phase motor, this version is ideal for industrial and commercial shops requiring continuous-duty performance and three-phase power.
