Powermatic 5-HP Spindle Shaper, 30" x 40" Table, 230/460V 3Ph (Model PM2700)

Product Description This PM2700 Shaper offers more features to you than any other shaper in the same class. The extra-large 30" x 40" precision-ground cast iron table includes a heavy duty miter gauge with an aluminum extruded support. The built-in, omni-directional caster system (patent pending) is retractable into the base. A quick-release lever allows fast speed and belt changes. The extruded aluminum fence has several T-slots so you can mount a wood face to create a no-clearance surface around any shaper or router bit. The fence also gives you the ability to quickly move the fence close to its final position, lock it in and then use the precision micro adjustments on each side of the cutter to dial in exactly the position you need. Adding to the precision of this machine is a digital readout for the spindle height. This allows making adjustments to within .001" in the spindle height, which is critical when aligning rail and stile cutters for those raised panel doors. Amazon.com The result of years of planning and design, the Five-Horsepower, Three-Phase, 230-/460-Volt Powermatic 1280102C PM2700 Shaper has been built from the ground up to be the last shaper you'll ever need. Offering more features than any other shaper in its class, it provides an extra-large cast-iron table and heavy-duty miter gauge with aluminum extruded support to tackle any job with ease.Power, Accuracy, and DurabilityBringing an industry-leading package of features, the PM2700 has Powermatic's legendary durability and precision. It boasts a fully welded base cabinet built from heavy-gauge steel with a dust collection chute that terminates in a four-inch-diameter port at the rear. There's a door and window for easy monitoring of, and access to, the belt and spindle lock, and a micro-switch to prevent the motor from starting unless the door is securely closed.Robust Five-Horsepower MotorThe PM2700 comes equipped with a powerful five-horsepower, three-phase, 230-/460-volt motor mounted in a cast-iron mechanism that controls cutter height. This mechanism is operated by the large, eight-inch-diameter cast-iron handwheel (with spinner) conveniently located on the front of the base cabinet. For smooth, slip-free power transmission, the motor is fitted with a two-speed pulley system that uses a poly-V belt--a magnetic switch protects against power fluctuations. All the controls, including a quick-release lever for fast speed and belt changes, are conveniently grouped within easy reach.For ease of movement, this sturdy, 664-pound machine has four retractable full-swivel casters (patent pending) with tough polyurethane tires that roll smoothly without leaving marks on your shop floor.Easy Spindle AdjustmentsThe 3/4-inch- and 1-1/4-inch-diameter spindles, are retained with a tough drawbar and locking nut, and offer speeds from 7,500 to 10,000 RPM. Height changes to within 1/1000 of an inch--critical when aligning rail and stile cutters for raised panel doors--are simple, thanks to the spinner handle on the cast-iron handwheel. At the same time, the digital spindle height display ensures accuracy.Extra-Large Cast-Iron TableTo help simplify large projects, the PM2700 comes with a generously sized, cast-iron flat table that stands a comfortable 35-1/2 inches (with casters retracted) from the floor for safe and easy handling of big materials. The top features a full-size, T-shape miter slot that runs the full width of the table. Also, both rear corners of the table are pre-drilled and tapped to accept Powermatic feeding systems.Sophisticated Fence SystemThis shaper includes a sophisticated, safe and accurate fence system, including several T-slots, so you can mount a wood face and create a no-clearance surface around any shaper or router bit. The design allows for quick movement of the fence close to its final position. It's then easy to lock it in, and use the precision micro adjustments on each side of the cutter to dial the exact position needed.It also comes with two featherboards to help keep cuts consistent while improving safety.The PM2700 is backed by a five-year warranty.What's in the BoxPM2700 Shaper; one fence assembly; one cabinet and base; two lock handles; two M13 flat washers; one miter assembly; one draw bar; one 1-1/4-inch spindle; one 3/4-inch spindle; two spindle nuts; one 3-7/8-inch insert ring; four M10 socket head cap screws; four M10 lock washers; one starting pin; one 8-millimeter hex wrench; one cross-point/flat-head screwdriver; one wrench; one warranty card; and one manual.
