Combination MachinesSome combination machines run all of their functions from a single motor while others may use more than one. Cutter heads are often shared between functions. For example a jointer-thicknesser may use the same cutter head for both functions. A combination machine takes up much less space than the equivalent separate machines. This makes them popular with home hobbyist and workshops with limited space. Most combination machines set up time is increased when moving from one function to another and back again. Multiple combination machines typically contains a sliding-table saw with a scoring blade, a shaper, a thicknesser, a jointer, and a mortiser. These machines generally have 3 motors, one for the table saw, one for the shaper, and one shared by the thickness planer/jointer and mortiser.

The gold standard in woodworking was not always gold on the outside. In 1921 the first POWERMATIC tool, a planer was produced by Leonard f. Smith, Sr. A lumber dealer. Originally painted green, the planer was built to perform for long durations in the most challenging environments. Demand for these machines grew and the legend of POWERMATIC was born. The power of POWERMATIC soon became known as the gold standard in woodworking for its tremendous performance and durability. It would only be in the years to come that the exterior of each machine reflect its interior gold excellence.
The POWERMATIC name has lasted for more than 85 years and its products are built to last for the future generations. The innovative features incorporated into each machine have earned them numerous awards and countless outstanding reviews.
