Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Motor: 15HH: TEFC,3HP,1Ph,230V,60Hz,15A. 209HH-1: TEFC, 5HP, 1Ph, 28A, 230V.
  • Feed rate: 15HH: 16 and 20 FPM. 209HH-1: 24 and 31 FPM.

Cited for one of the pair: only Powermatic's cited pages give cutting depth per pass; only Powermatic's cited pages give table size. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the 15HH and 209HH-1 match there.
