The Powermatic 60C 8-inch jointer with a straight-knife cutterhead delivers traditional cutting performance with user-friendly controls. A 2 HP motor provides reliable power, while the long 73-inch tables support accurate jointing of longer boards. The infeed table lever enables quick height changes followed by fine adjustment, and the worm gear–driven fence tilts smoothly via handwheel control. A non-marring fence insert protects the table surface, and magnet-mounted push blocks offer convenient access during operation.
