Powermatic 209HH 20-Inch Helical Head Planer
Are you dealing with tear-out, rough finishes, or inconsistent results when planing wide hardwood stock?
What if your planer delivered smoother surfaces, quieter operation, and consistent thickness across every pass?
Meet the Powermatic 209HH, a 20-inch helical head planer built for precision surfacing and reliable performance in demanding shop environments.
With the 100 carbide inserts, two-speed gearbox, and 5 HP motor, it maintains clean cuts and steady feed control across wide material.
When your cuts stay smooth and consistent, your workflow improves with less sanding and fewer finishing passes required.
Powermatic 209HH for Smooth Finishes and Wide Capacity Planing
Helical Cutterhead for Reduced Tear-Out
The helical cutterhead uses 100 four-sided carbide inserts to produce a smoother finish with reduced tear-out and quieter operation than straight knives.
20-Inch Capacity for Large Stock
The wide 20-inch planing capacity allows efficient surfacing of larger boards, reducing handling time and increasing productivity.
5 HP Motor for Consistent Power
The 5 HP motor delivers reliable cutting performance for dense hardwoods and continuous-duty planing applications.
Two-Speed Gearbox for Finish Control
The oil-bath gearbox provides feed rates of 24 and 31 FPM, with optional slower speeds for improved surface finish when required.
Cast Iron Construction for Stability
Heavy cast iron construction and a four-column support system reduce vibration and maintain alignment for consistent thicknessing results.
