PM15 Planer/Molder

The Gold Standard Since 1921.

The new PM15 from Powermatic
is loaded with features that make
it a standout. Large 5HP motor
gives the unit 15" wide planing
capacity and enough power to
run double knife sets for molding.

■ The stand is fully enclosed and

is equipped with integral casters
for shop mobility. ■ Two feed
speeds, 10 and 20 fpm’s allow
you to run quickly for maximum
stock removal yet slower speeds
yield a fine milled finish on
decorative moldings. ■ Opening

the hinged top with 4" dust
collection port exposes the
cutterhead, allowing for fast
and easy tooling changes. This
machine can use either single
molding knives or 3 knife sets,
whichever you choose. ■ A long
list of available accessories will
make this machine a valuable
addition to any shop.
