The Powermatic 1285 12" jointer has a large center-mounted fence assembly with an easy to adjust rack and pinion system with ram lock. Preset stops ont he fence body allow for fast angle set-up at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles. The 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 ensures the table remains perfectly parallel even after years of tough duty.
