    Used Powermatic 66 vs. New Advice

    Hello All,

    I am looking at a used Powermatic 66 (attached) with a Baldor 3HP, 1-ph, for around $1,400. It is about 5-7 years old. They claim it wasn't used too much and well taken care of. Unfortunately I have to take their word. It looks to be in pretty good shape from the pictures (a little rust on top that should be able to remove). I will have to drive about 7 hours to get it and the person that is selling it doesn't have 220V to fire it up. The other option is to buy a new PM 66 or PM 2000 for $2,500-2,800 with a Tiawanese motor. It is hard to find a used one. Any advice or suggestions welcome.
