Powermatic 209HH - Manual (Page 5)

Top Rollers
The top rollers make moving long stock back for
another cut easy and safe.
To make moving the stock from the outfeed side of
the POWERMATIC 209HH to the infeed side for
repeat cuts easier we added a pair of material
rollers to the cutterhead. The iron rollers are spaced
above the cutterhead, putting the often-heavy stock
at a comfortable 44” above the floor.
Accessories
Digital Scale
We offer a fully digital scale (DRO Retrofit Kit #708520) that
brings true digital accuracy and flexibility to your
POWERMATIC 209HH. The DRO kit installs easily with its
included hardware and precise calibration is a snap.
The DRO has built-in modes that make many planing tasks
easier and dead on accurate. It can also be changed to display
inch or metric dimensions with the push of a button. The SET
mode is used to program in a dimension and makes “dialing” the
DRO in very easy. Plane a board and measure its thickness,
preferably using digital calipers. Enter that dimension into the DRO and it is dead on accurate.
The digital accuracy of the DRO
brings a new level of precision to
planing wood.
The Absolute mode (most commonly used) shows the precise distance from the cutterhead to the
table with a resolution of thousandths of an inch! Switch to the Relative mode and the DRO
considers the present thickness to be zero and shows precisely how much material a table height
change will remove.
The HOLD mode retains the current setting and allows moving the table to clear a damaged or
jammed piece of wood. The table can then be returned to that exact dimension to continue
planing.
The DRO also has a Tolerance mode that is more specialized and while not often used in
woodworking, could come in handy for some woodworkers.
