Northtech NT 1696HC 16″ Jointer (Helical Cutter Head)
This 16″ jointer from Northtech employs a 4″ dynamically-balanced helical cutter head with six (6) rows of two-sided inserts. The 96″ parallelogram bed ways provide quick and accurate adjustment of the infeed and outfeed beds and allow them to remain closer to the cutter head to provide greater material support where it’s needed most. Precision ground noise-abatement fingers contribute to a reduction in sound levels (decibels) of at least 25%, improving safety and comfort.

Features:
- Available machine width of 12″ or 16″.
- Bed way length is standard at 84″ on the 12″ model / 96″ on the 16″ model.
- The helical cutterhead is configured with six rows of 30 x 12 x 1.5 carbide 2-sided insert knives.
- Dynamically balanced cutter heads are precision fitted with class 5 NSK sealed bearings.
- Parallelogram-designed bed ways provide quick and accurate adjustment of infeed/outfeed beds vs. older style jack screw and handwheel system via cam and lever action. * Parallelogram design also facilitates the infeed table being in close proximity to the cutterhead, ensuring vibration-free cutting and excellent chip removal characteristics via the cam and lever handle.
- Machine bed ways are heat-treated, precision ground, and highly polished for incredible end-to-end and side-to-fence tolerances.
- The Center mount fence system employs a rack and pinion movement for quick and accurate positioning.
- Noise abatement fingers are precision ground on table edges surrounding cutter heads, improving sound decibel levels by over 25%.
- Motors are started and protected via magnetic controls with overloads / on-off control is remote and located above the infeed table.
- The oversized guard is standard, providing optimum operator protection (spring-loaded and adjustable tensioning).
- Weight on 16″ model . . . 956 lbs.
