54HH vs 20-600H

Powermatic 54HH vs RIKON Power Tools 20-600H. Of the 8 figures both makers publish, 2 differ: speed and weight. 6 are worded too differently to set side by side: motor, cutting width, knives or inserts and table size and 2 more. Both are jointers with the same cutting width: cutting width 1/2" x 6" on the 54HH, 6" on the 20-600H, in their makers' figures.

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: 54HH: TEFC, 1 HP, 1 PH, 115/230V*, 60Hz. 20-600H: 120V, 60Hz, 10A, PH1, AC.
  • Cutting width: 54HH: 1/2" x 6". 20-600H: 6".
  • Knives or inserts: 54HH: 40 four-sided inserts. 20-600H: 12 inserts.
  • Table size: 54HH: 7-1/4 x 66. 20-600H: 30" x 6-1/8".
  • Fence: 54HH: 4-3/4 x 38. 20-600H: 19-3/4" x 4-3/8".
  • Dimensions: 54HH: 66 x 24 x 37-1/2. 20-600H: 30" x 17-1/2" x 13".

One-sided rows: only Powermatic's cited pages give cutterhead and table height; only RIKON Power Tools' cited pages give cutting depth per pass, noise level and dust port. A missing figure is not a zero, so the 54HH and 20-600H cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
