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 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.

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 Durability
Bringing 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 Motor
The PM2700 comes equipped with a powerful five-horsepower,
three-phase, 230-/460-volt motor ed 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 Adjustments
The 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 Table
To 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 System
This shaper includes a sophisticated, safe and accurate fence
system, including several T-slots, so you can 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 featoards to help keep cuts consistent
while improving safety.
The PM2700 is backed by a five-year warranty.
