Product Description
The Powermatic 16" Parallelogram Jointer with ArmorGlide and Helical Cutterhead, 3-Phase 230V (PJ1696T) - MPN: PM1-1791283T - is a heavy-duty industrial jointer engineered for woodworkers and production shops that demand precision, durability, and consistent performance. Built around a parallelogram construction design and equipped with a helical cutterhead, this machine delivers exceptional surface quality while minimizing downtime and maintenance demands.
Key Features
- ArmorGlide Technology gives you a low-friction, industrial-grade coating on the work surface that is rust resistant, requires less maintenance, and gives you more control
- Cast iron fence bevel controls include positive stops at 45 degrees and 90 degrees for fast, repeatable angle setups
- Full size rabbeting table supports large workpieces for rabbets up to 3/4-inch deep
- Helical cutterhead features 58 two-sided knife inserts that reduce noise, eliminate adjustments, and speed knife changes
- Large 16" x 96" precision ground cast iron table surface for maximum support and fine finish
- Parallelogram construction maintains close table-to-cutterhead proximity and ensures table parallelism
- Rack and pinion adjustable cast iron fence assembly allows for smooth fence positioning without play

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is ArmorGlide Technology and how does it benefit users?
- ArmorGlide Technology is a low-friction, industrial-grade coating applied to the work surface. It is rust resistant, requires less maintenance than uncoated cast iron surfaces, and gives you more control as workpieces glide smoothly across the table.
- What type of cutterhead does this jointer use, and how many inserts does it have?
- This jointer uses a helical cutterhead featuring 58 two-sided knife inserts. This design reduces noise, eliminates the need for adjustments, and speeds up knife changes significantly compared to traditional straight-knife cutterheads.
- What is the maximum cutting depth for rabbeting and non-rabbeting cuts?
- For non-rabbeting cuts, the recommended maximum cutting depth is 1/8". For rabbeting cuts, the maximum cutting depth is 1/2". The full-size rabbeting table supports large workpieces for rabbets up to 3/4-inch deep.
- How does the parallelogram construction benefit long-term performance?
- Parallelogram construction maintains close table-to-cutterhead proximity and ensures table parallelism throughout the life of the machine, providing consistent results and improved surface finish even after extended heavy use.
Note: The recommended max cutting depth for non-rabbeting cuts is 1/8". The max cutting depth for rabbeting cuts is 1/2".

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
