Powermatic 15BHH 15" Helical Head Planer 3HP, 1-PH, 230V

Built for serious woodworking shops, the Powermatic 15BHH 15" Helical Head Planer delivers the power, accuracy, and reliability professionals demand for production work. Its robust 3HP motor and heavy-duty cast-iron construction provide the stability needed to flatten and thickness hardwoods with confidence, while the 15" capacity handles everything from furniture components to large glue-ups. A built-in Digital Readout (DRO) allows for precise, repeatable thickness adjustments, helping ensure consistent results across every project.

At the heart of the 15BHH is a four-row helical cutterhead equipped with 48 four-sided carbide inserts that produce exceptionally smooth surfaces while reducing tear-out, noise, and maintenance compared to traditional straight knives. When an insert becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it to a fresh cutting edge and get back to work with minimal downtime.

Select between two feed speeds—16 FPM for superior finish quality or 28 FPM for rapid stock removal—to match your workflow. Combined with full-length cast-iron tables for maximum support and a shop-ready mobile base with upgraded locking casters, the Powermatic 15BHH is engineered to deliver professional-grade results day after day.

Main Differences from the 15HH Planer:

• Larger cutterhead
• More width capacity
• Digital readout (DRO) display for exact measurement settings
• Faster feed rate for aggressive stock removal
