The gold standard in woodworking was not always gold on the outside. In 1921, the first POWERMATIC tool, a planer, was produced by Leonard F. Smith, Sr. a lumber dealer. Originally painted green, the planer was built to perform for long durations in the most challenging environments. Just fi ve planers were produced in the fi rst year of business due to the painstaking level of passion put into the manufacturing process. Demand for these machines grew and the legend of POWERMATIC was born. The power of POWERMATIC soon became known as the gold standard in woodworking for its tremendous performance and durability. It would only be in the years to come that the exterior of each machine refl ect its interior gold excellence. The POWERMATIC name has lasted for more than 85 years and its products are built to last for future generations.
