15BHH PLNR 3HP 1PH 230V

The Powermatic 15BHH Planer PM1-477 is a heavy-duty wood planer built for consistent surfacing in demanding shops. Powered by a 3 HP motor on 230V single phase, it delivers steady feed and clean material removal across hardwoods and softwoods without stalling under load.

A four-row helical cutterhead with 48 carbide inserts runs at 5,200 RPM to produce a smoother finish with less tearout while reducing noise during operation. Inserts can be rotated as edges wear, which extends cutting life and keeps surface quality consistent without constant knife changes. Two feed speeds let you move quickly through rough stock or slow the pass for final surface quality, giving you more control over finish without changing setups.

Heavy cast iron infeed and outfeed tables bring added mass to reduce vibration and keep longer boards stable through the cut. The digital readout supports repeatable thickness settings so you can return to exact dimensions without trial cuts. With a 15-inch capacity and a 6-inch thickness range, this woodworking planer covers a wide range of stock sizes while maintaining predictable results. A 4-inch dust port designed for 900 CFM keeps chips moving, helping maintain cutterhead performance and shop cleanliness.
