Stationary Tools

Collection: Stationary Tools

Stationary power tools deliver precision, stability, and efficiency for serious woodworking and metalworking projects. From table saws and drill presses to jointers, planers, and band saws, these heavy-duty machines are built for accuracy and long-lasting performance. Top brands like Jet, Powermatic, Shop Fox, Rikon, Laguna, Maksiwa and Sawstop provide reliable stationary tools that help professionals and hobbyists achieve smooth, consistent results in their workshops.

Stationary Woodworking Machines for Every Stage of the Build

Stationary tools are the core of a woodworking shop: machines that rip, flatten, thickness, sand, drill, and collect dust. The lineup runs from the SawStop Jobsite PRO and compact table saws to Powermatic and Jet cabinet saws, Jet drum sanders, Powermatic helical-head jointers, and Jet cyclone dust collectors. Most shops start with a table saw, add a jointer and planer to mill rough lumber, then build out sanding and dust control.

Table Saws

The center of most shops. Choose from SawStop jobsite, compact, and professional cabinet saws with flesh-sensing technology, plus Shop Fox hybrid saws. See SawStop table saws and the full table saw lineup.

Rip Saws

Our rip saws collection groups large cabinet saws by fence capacity, such as the Powermatic PM1000 and PM2000 with Accu-Fence and Jet Deluxe Xacta saws, with rips up to 52 inches.

Jointers

A jointer flattens a face and squares an edge so boards feed true into the planer and table saw. Options include Powermatic helical head 8-inch models.

Planers

Planers bring boards to a consistent thickness. Choose benchtop Jet planers, 15- and 20-inch helical head machines, jointer/planer combos, and planer/molders.

Stationary Sanders

Drum, belt/disc, edge, and spindle machines from Jet, Supermax, Powermatic, Laguna, and Rikon. Browse stationary sanders or go straight to spindle sanders.

Dust Collection and Air Filtration

Jet single-stage and cyclone dust collectors move chips from saws and planers. Air filtration units from Jet, Powermatic, and Rikon capture the fine dust left in the air.

Drill Presses

Benchtop and floor drill presses from Jet, Powermatic, Rikon, and Teknatool NOVA drill square, repeatable holes. Some Jet models add a digital readout.

Band Saws

Resaw boards, cut curves, and rough out bowl blanks with 14-inch band saws from Rikon and Jet.

Lathes and Mortisers

Turn spindles and bowls on Jet variable speed lathes. Cut square mortises for furniture joints with Powermatic hollow chisel mortisers.

Stationary Tools FAQ

Which stationary tool should I buy first?

For most woodworkers, a table saw. It handles ripping, crosscutting with a sled, and joinery. If you buy rough lumber, a jointer and planer come next. Add a dust collector as soon as you run a planer, since it makes the most chips.

Do I need a 220V circuit?

Many 115V machines run on a standard outlet, including the Jet JDP-15B benchtop drill press and JBOS-5 spindle sander. Larger machines, such as 3HP SawStop professional cabinet saws and Jet JCDC-3 cyclones, list 220V or 230V. Check the voltage in the product title before you buy.

Do I need both a jointer and a planer?

To mill rough lumber flat and square, yes. The jointer flattens one face and edge. The planer makes the opposite face parallel at the thickness you want. A jointer/planer combo saves floor space in small shops.

Dust collector or air filtration unit?

Both. A dust collector captures chips and dust at the machine. An air filtration unit cleans the fine particles that escape into the room. Start with the collector, then add filtration.
