The new 16-inch jointer offers big
capacity and performance in a
machine that is loaded with features.
Large center-mounted fence assembly
adjusts easily via rack and pinion
system with ram lock. Preset stops on
the fence body allow for fast angle
set-up at 45 degrees in and out and

Parallelogram design keeps the table
in close proximity to the cutterhead
for improved finish and allows for
a fast depth of cut adjustment. This
design also insure the tables remain
perfectly parallel even after years of
tough duty. ■The specially designed
solid steel Helical cutterhead consists
of six rows of staggered 14 mm
inserts precision ground on 2 sides.
This system makes fast work of
knife changing and never needs
adjustment. ■The big 71/2HP motor
delivers all the power you will need
for even the biggest jobs!
