Item : B00005OQM6 Customer Reviews high marks from me... by .. John J. Williams Jr. () firstly, let me praise the shipping speed/quality. i was blown away when i ordered the saw on a tuesday and it showed up THAT SATURDAY!!! i was actually a bit horrified it showed up so quick and had to leave it in the dining room unpacked for three weeks while i set up my shop. not complaining, just stunned at how good amazon/PM and their shippers were in getting it to me so quick and in perfecr condition. as for the saw, it's tough for me to provide a realistic basis for comparison, as i've only used my very cheap craftsmen (which totally served its purpose while i saved my pennies for the PM), and a beautiful 30 yr old cabinet saw at the adult ed place i've taken classes at. all i can say is it falls exactly where it should- it blows away the craftsmen and has the expected limitations and differences from the cab saw. on its own merit (even tho i'm cutting with a crap blade til a new one arrives) it cuts very accurately for my purposes and while it took a few hours to set up, i thought that process was actually kinda enjoyable and fairly straightforward. i recommend this pkg w/ the extension table w/ 50" rails because it's already improved my skills and accuracy rather than jerry rigging a table out to the right. i'm glad i got this pkg even tho it dominates my very small shop- someday in my dreams i'll have a good sized shop where this will fit just right. i also thought the design of the extension table was very good and durable and it pretty much lined right up with the table with the help of a few quick clamps. overall- a VERY beefy contractor saw (not looking fwd to having to relocate when we buy a new house) and very accurate. i imagine this thing will truly kick butt when i change out the blade and the belt. Best Contractor Saw by .. Mr. Matthew W. Hafner (USA) I have used them all; Jet, Delta, Grizzly, etc. This is by far the best contractor saw that I have worked with. When you buy this saw, you get all the best of a cabinet saw (fence, stability, etc) at a contractor's saw price. I recently owned the Jet saw that is supposed to be identical, and the Powermatic stands head and shoulders above. There was nothing wrong with the Jet, but the Powermatic is just much smoother. powermatic left tilt tablesaw by .. Beth Adams () This saw is a great saw for the price. It set up well and is a joy to use. Thank-you John Adams/Adams Custom Builders Eldorado Springs, Co Unacceptable by .. Sue Livingston () We sent our son a powermatic saw for Christmas. When it arrived and when assembled the table was way out of tolerance. So he called Tool Crib and arrangements were made to return the old one and send a new one, which you very nicely did. That one was more out of tolerance than the first. So he called and both saws were picked up at the same time. I have an email which states that you will credit us for the saw. He (son) has made other arrangements for a saw. We do most of our tool business with you and are sorry that this happened, which I am sure you are also. Perhaps you received a bad batch of saws from Powermatic. Vernon Harrington its allright by .. T. Sawasky () I have had this saw for three years now,all in all it is a pretty nice saw but it does have some issues.I am very picky on my machine accuracy and i always have to fiddle with it to get it to be as accurate as i want.When I first got the saw it had a terrible vibration and couldn't figure out what the problem i called customer service and they sent a tech right out to my house of course he found the problem right away it was the one thing that i overlooked,the pulley on the arbor was never tightened down to the shaft upon assembly at the factory in taiwan.all in all i kind of wished i had bought something else but at the time it was the only left tilting saw on the market besides the crapsman.I think if i were on the market right now i would go for the jet supersaw with the fully enclosed stand and sliding table i have had a chance to inspect this machine firsthand and man what a nice piece of equipment.
