I made mine out of rough cut 2x10 hemlock. I was originally thinking red cedar but couldnt locate the quantity that I needed plus hemlock was about a quarter of the cost. Hemlock was recommended by a...

I guess I should clarify my original post. I have tried to look up information for this model number but haven't had a whole lot of luck. I guess what I was getting at was are there any real issues...

Bruce, that is a very nice machine. Still significantly less and yours looks like it is in better shape than the one I am inquiring about.

Yea that 1791209 is the Powermatic "Stock No" and you are correct. This is what it is. I've read some reviews on this machine back when it was still on the market and some of them weren't very good...

Hey guys, need some help on the value for a like new powermatic 15" planer #1791209 (has the roller indeed and outfeed tables as opposed to the cast iron ones the new 15s has). I have the opportunity...

FYI - Its a Powermatic 54A Deluxe 6-inch Jointer with the Quick Set Knives. Does this help?

Thanks John, it may warrant a phone call for more information regarding the. Intage. Craigslist ad was kinda vague.

I can get a gold series Powermatic 6" jointer for $450. 1hp single phase 110v. What's the going price on these? Good deal?

No i don't believe so. I live in upstate New York. I was able to get the adjustment at the trunnions. Everything lines up perfectly. I have some more measuring to do once it's together to see if this...

Really appreciate the help Chris (and from the rest of you). I'm going to strip it down a little further to diagnose the real problem here. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted!

I think I have talked myself into a complete dis-assembly and restoration on this saw. Chris's photo of his saw made me jealous. Here's hoping and praying for the best.

Yes I think I can just not sure that is ultimately the correct way to go about it.

Here is a picture of what I'm dealing with. It's hard to tell in the picture but I think you can get the idea.

Doug, I feel like the quick fix is to just ream out the wholes but I have never been one for the quick fix for the very same reason you have stated. I'll look into this further. Maybe this will force...

The arbor isn't concentric with the hole which holds the arbor/bearings in the arm. The bearings are tight in the arm and don't appear to be worn out. They aren't making any noise but the arbor...

Hey guys,

I just bought an older Powermatic 66 table saw (1980) with a 3hp single phase Leeson motor. I am rather pleased with its condition but I have ran into a problem upon reassembling the...
