Fence Stops

See Figure 29.

Periodically check the 90 degree and 45 degree tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist's protractor. If adjustments are necessary, proceed as follows:

90-degree stop:

1.The 90-degree stop is controlled by the screw (E, Figure 29).

2.Loosen the locking handle (C) and the hex nut on the screw (F).

3.Set a square on the table and against the fence, and rotate the handwheel (G) to move the fence flush against the square. Rotate the screw (E) until it contacts the stop block (D).

4.Tighten the hex nut (F) and the locking handle (C).

45 degree forward stop:

1.The 45 degree forward stop is controlled by a screw (H, Figure 29) that is located at the bottom end of the link bar.

2.Loosen the locking handle (C) and the hex nut on the screw (H).

3.Set a 45 degree measuring device on the table and against the fence, and tilt the fence until it is flush against the device, and therefore at a 45 degree angle.

4.Rotate the screw (H) until it contacts the casting below it.

5.Tighten hex nut (H) and locking handle (C).

45degree back stop:

1.Flip the stop block (D, Figure 29) out of the way.

2.The 45 degree back stop is controlled by the screw (J).

3.Loosen the locking handle (C) and the hex nut on the screw (K).

4.Use an angle measuring device set at 45 degrees beyond the right angle (a total of 135 degrees) and place it on the table and against the fence. Tilt the fence until it is flush with the protractor.

5.Rotate the screw (J) to the proper height.

6.Tighten hex nut (K) and locking handle (C).

60C, 60HH specifications

The Powermatic 60C and 60HH are two exceptional entries in the world of woodworking machinery, specifically designed for woodworkers who demand precision and efficiency in their operations. Both models embody Powermatic's commitment to innovation and performance, catering to the needs of professionals and serious hobbyists alike.

One of the standout features of the Powermatic 60C is its advanced digital readout (DRO) system. This technology provides users with accurate measurements and easy adjustments, ensuring that every cut is made with precision. The system helps eliminate guesswork, allowing woodworkers to focus on their craft without worrying about the accuracy of their settings. The 60C also features a powerful 1.75 HP motor, which is capable of handling even the toughest hardwoods with ease.

On the other hand, the Powermatic 60HH boasts the Helical Cutterhead technology, which offers a significant upgrade over traditional straight knives. The helical design consists of multiple cutting edges that provide a smoother cut and reduce tear-out, resulting in a superior finish. This is especially beneficial when working with figured woods or delicate materials. The 60HH also features a 3 HP motor, providing ample power for demanding applications and ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads.

Both models are equipped with a rigid and robust cast-iron construction, ensuring stability and reducing vibration during operation. This design enhances the durability of the machines and extends their lifespan, making them a worthwhile investment for any serious woodshop.

The jointer beds are precision-ground and provide excellent support for long workpieces, while the fence is easily adjustable and provides accurate guidance for various operations, such as jointing and planing. The intuitive controls make it easy for users to switch between different functions and settings, enhancing workflow efficiency.

In terms of mobility, both the 60C and 60HH come with sturdy, adjustable legs and can be fitted with mobility kits that allow for easy movement around the workshop. This flexibility is a significant advantage for woodworkers who need to optimize their workspace.

In summary, the Powermatic 60C and 60HH represent the pinnacle of jointer and planer technology. With their innovative features, powerful motors, and user-friendly designs, these machines deliver unparalleled performance, making them invaluable assets in any woodworking shop. Whether you prioritize precise adjustments with the 60C or superior cutting capabilities with the 60HH, both models stand ready to elevate your woodworking projects to new heights.
