Surface Planer - (Jointer)

One of the disadvantages to wood is that it expands contracts and warps in different conditions and as temperatures and humidity changes.  A woodworker must go through various steps to ensure that it is flat. The infeed and outfeed table are adjusted so that they are close to parallel, but the infeed table is slightly lower exposing a small amount of the cutting blades. The woodworker pushes the timber over the blades onto the outfeed table and the rapidly spinning blades remove a small amount of material at a time. If the wood is particularly warped, several passes on the surface planer may be required.

The fence can be adjusted to various angles. By adjusting the fence in this way, a jointer can also be used to create chamfers along the edge of a board.

POWERMATIC

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.

POWERMATIC is also a part of the WMH Tool Group which consists of Jet, Powermatic, Performax and Wilton Tools

PAOLONI

In 1955, near San Marino, Italy, PAOLONI & MANZINI joined forces to start the production of machinery for the Italian woodworking manufacturer. They narrowed their market to the small-to-medium size operation. Both product and market sector were the right decision for the startup company: In the 1960s they were exporting their machinery abroad and were developing a solid reputation for reliable equipment at an attractive price.

With 1982, the 17 year old company introduced changes to their line which separated PAOLONI MACCHINE from other manufacturers. They produced the first carriage-type End Tenoners for panels which later expanded up to five different versions. Thereafter they enhanced their Moulders, included numeric controls for their Panel Saws and developed 23 different versions of their Calibrating Sanders.

The company begins deep changes and modification in the course of the years, from simple machine shop, it gets specialised in the production of multifunction machines, answering to the market challenge in the 60’s.

With the generation renewal, Sante Facchini comes to make part of the company and Paoloni Machine goes on ambitiously with its ascent : passion and enterprise courage are transforming the small craft company into a real industry with no limit.
