Powermatic PJ-882 8-Inch Parallelogram Jointer

Powermatic PJ-882 for Long-Board Accuracy and Control

Parallelogram Design Maintains Long-Term Alignment

The parallelogram table system keeps the tables close to the cutterhead, improving finish quality while allowing fast and precise depth-of-cut adjustments. This design helps maintain alignment even after years of heavy use.

82-Inch Bed Supports Longer Workpieces

The extra-long precision-ground cast iron bed provides stability and support when jointing long boards, improving accuracy across the full 8-inch capacity.

Worm Gear Fence System for Controlled Adjustments

The handwheel-operated worm gear system allows smooth fence tilting with positive stops at ±45° and 90°. A non-marring insert protects the table surface during adjustments.

Flexible Cutterhead and Surface Options

Choose a straight knife cutterhead for traditional jointing and rabbeting capability, or a helical cutterhead with carbide inserts for smoother finishes and quieter operation. ArmorGlide models add a low-friction, rust-resistant surface for improved material handling and reduced maintenance.
