Hey all, I'm helping a friend find an affordable saw and I came across this...

There were a couple threads here I can't find now, about the practicality of wood tops near water sources, one of which was mine that may have been deleted. Anyway, I said I'd put up a pic when I...

Finally got the saw inside the new shop, assembly soon.

Good advice thank you. I should be all into setting this saw up by now but I delivered it last week to my new home/shop location in torn down form and have not been able to get back up on my property...

Not a hijack at all, very pertinent to my questions on maintenance. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I'll get pics up soon.

Speaking of realistic prices, my other choice last week was a 25yr old Canadian General 3HP saw on CL for $975. I choose the 66 because I always wanted one.

I just purchased a 2003 Powermatic model 66 from a seller off Craigslist. They bought it new and soon realized it was more saw than they needed, put in storage for 12 years and decided to sell it...

Thank you David, your computer/photo skills are better than mine.

Here is a picture (very grainy) of the name plate on the saw that the seller sent me. I can make out the "model 66" and it looks like the 1st two digits of the serial number indicate it's an '03. Can...

I am looking at a Powermatic model 66 table saw for sale on CL and I'm a little confused. The seller says it's an '03 year model, it's golden (not green), 3hp and made in Taiwan. Can someone list the...

$595! Really?!? I mean it seams nice and all but 6 bills for an electric hand tool?

I'm looking at an Inca Expert model 500 20" band saw on CL for $650. I've never heard of one, any input?

After some consideration and appreciating the input here, I have decided to go with an electric RO sander and a much smaller compressor. I am looking in the 20 to 40gal $500-600 range. Leaning...

Thank you Scott. Yeah I'm leaning towards the bigger ponies now so the Jet 3hp is back on my short list.

Another saw on my short list was the Jet 3hp XACTA for a few hundred dollars more. The salesman at my local WoodCraft store says the lower HP Powermatic hybrid is the the better saw hands down.

I do have 220 in the new shop and would convert the PM1000 over to it. I know the hybrid saws are on the lower end of the horsepower scale but for what I plan to do, 1.75 should do fine. Plus for the...

I am outfitting a new small shop and considering Powermatics new PM1000 hybrid saw. Its on my short list for a table saw and with rumors of a spring sale coming on I'm even more intrigued. Does...

Very informative answers, thanks to you all. I believe I owe it to myself to look into the Festool/Mirca idea.

I haven't seen anyone mention Powermatics new hybrid cabinet saw the PM1000. I'm shopping for a sub 2K saw same as the original poster and am considering this saw. I think its fairly new but does...

As I prepare to outfit a new shop for myself and consider my compressed air needs I am wondering if I should go big enough to run some pneumatic tools. Most RO palm sanders require 14scfm from a...

Thanks Bruce

Actually it's my 1st initial and I thought it appropriate here because its also my business name I've gone by for 25yrs. (WMD Cabinet Works). Just a little vanity is all, haha.

Any of them or does one in particular do edits?

When I registered I neglected to enter my full name including initial. Since I kinda like it here and might be around for awhile I'd like to have my full name. Is there a way to edit it?
