manual abstract


When you require the ultimate in accuracy, capacity and user- friendly features, the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer fits the bill – and then some. Built from heavy-duty iron castings for long-term durability the PJ- 882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer weighs in at a hefty 744 lbs. The full 8” cut width and 82” overall bed length make straightening the largest project pieces exceptionally accurate. Add the fully adjustable parallelogram tables, easy knife setting and the PJ- 882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer rises above the competition. There are four variations of the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer, all are identical except for the motor/power or cutterhead design. The machine in the accompanying photos is the PJ-882HH (#1610082) that comes with a 2HP motor wired for 220V, 1 phase power and is equipped with a helical cutterhead. The PJ-882HH (#1610083) is also equipped with the helical cutterhead but has a 3HP motor wired for 230V (460V capable) and 3 phase power. The PJ-882 (#1610079) has our three knife cutterhead and is powered by a 2HP motor running on 220V, 1 phase power. The PJ- 882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer (#1610080) also has our three knife cutterhead but has a 3HP, 3 phase motor that runs on 230/460V power. All four motors are TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) design. Base Cabinet The all-steel base cabinet provides solid footing, houses the motor and sends the dust to the 4”-diameter port. The fully welded, all steel base cabinet provides a solid platform for the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer. At 20 .”-long by 15”-deep and 20 .”-tall, the base cabinet puts the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer bed at a comfortable 31 5/16” above the floor. The base cabinet also houses the motor and its adjustable mount for adjusting belt tension when necessary. A door on the rear of the base cabinet provides ample access to the motor and its mount. All of the wiring and electronic components are also housed within the base cabinet, including the magnetic starter. An on/off switch is mounted to a mast that puts it within easy reach while operating the PJ- 882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer. Also contained within the base cabinet is an effective dust evacuation chute. The chute runs from under the cutterhead to a 4”-diameter outlet fitting located near the floor on the end of the base cabinet. Positioning the dust outlet low on the base helps to keep the hose flat on the floor to be less of a trip hazard. This position also creates a more direct path that enhances evacuation of the substantial amount of chips and dust that the PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer is capable of creating. Each corner of the infeed and outfeed tables has an adjustable cam for correcting coplanar misalignments. The outboard cams on the front of the machine are under the height levers. Parallelogram Tables For a jointer to straighten wood accurately the infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar - perfectly aligned with each other side-to-side and front-to-back. The tables on the PJ- 882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer have been accurately aligned at the factory but they could possibly need adjustment in the future. To make those once complicated adjustments much easier we built in special cams, two on the front and two on the rear of each table. These cams allow the user to correct this alignment should that become necessary and do it quickly saving time and money. The mechanism that moves the tables up and down also keeps them close to the cutterhead throughout their range of travel. Keeping the tables close to the cutterhead produces cleaner, more accurate cuts and a superior finish on the wood. Table Heights Both tables use levers to adjust their heights. The infeed table lever is augmented by an automatic depth limiter that can be released for deep cuts with the twist of a small knob. The outfeed table is fitted with limiting stops that control the full up and full down travel. A lever moves the outfeed table up and down and another lever locks it in place. Rabbets up to .” by .” can be cut on the PJ-882 8" Parallelogram Jointer. Note: Rabbets cannot be cut with the models equipped with the helical cutterhead. The infeed table also has an easy to use lever for locking it in position. However, a much longer lever makes adjusting the height of the massive table to set cut depth (up to .”-maximum) exceptionally accurate. A handy depth stop knob automatically limits cut depth to 1/8”. To increase cut depth simply pull that knob out, rotate it 90-degrees and the infeed table can be set to make cuts up to .” deep. A scale on the side of the infeed table makes it easy to set the exact cut depth you want. Precision Fence The fence has an insert (left) that prevents scratching the table when it is moved. The operating mechanism (right) allows precise bevel setting and a very stable fence when locked. The PJ-882HH 8" Parallelogram Jointer comes with a fully adjustable fence system that makes high precision bevel cuts easy to do. The 38 3/16”-long by...
