About Powermatic
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 in Tennessee. Originally painted green, the planer was built to perform for long durations in the most challenging environments. Just five planers were produced in the first year due to the painstaking level of passion put into the manufacturing process. Demand for these machines grew and the legend of POWERMATIC was born.
POWERMATIC soon became known as the gold standard in woodworking for its tremendous performance and durability. It would be years to come before the exterior of each machine reflect its interior gold excellence.
Today, each machine maintains its connection to the high quality standards established in its founding day. That’s why, time and again, cabinetmakers and craftsmen turn to us to fill their shop. Visit Powermatic.com, or better yet, just put a new POWERMATIC tool in your shop today and you’ll find out why POWERMATIC is The Gold Standard Since 1921™

About Tools For Opportunity
Tools change lives. Tools for Opportunity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working hard to help woodworkers in some of the poorest areas of the world build a better life for their families and communities. We provide woodworking tools and practical training to help craftsmen work their way out of poverty through their own skill and hard work. This is not charity. The woodworkers earn their new tools by volunteering their labor to build a project for their community, church, or a neighbor in need. Please help us give these craftsmen not only tools, but the dignity and respect that come from helping build a better world for all of us.
