It'd be pretty nifty to replace the stock laminate that Delta supplies; especially if it can accomodate the Biesemeyer fence.
Nice posting!

Has anyone seen one of these PM2000s with the cast iron extension table and that massive leg assy that is attached to it? I'm wondering what happens when one cranks the wheels down to move the saw - that looks like a terrific amount of weight that is reefing on the fence angles that hold the stock extension and legs up in the air on the standard PM2000.
Could be who Woodwerks is using to do the custom saws? I don't know, but those custom PMs are pretty in person. The paint jobs were definitely not your standard assembly line power tool paint. If you've seen a Sawstop in person, imagine a step up from that appearance wise--and the Sawstop is a very nice looking machine.
Gold Baby!!!

I hope I don't get in trouble for this. Please take it as astonishment.

Well, if you really want a classic Powermatic color, you'd have to go with aquamarine. I don't know when PM switched to mustard yellow, but I've seen multiple, classic PM tools with a factory aquamarine paint job.
Personally, I think that red and silver scheme rocks! It reminds me of a '57 Chevy.
Cast iron is nice, but my next saw is gonna have granite!

I have been talking to Chris for some time and his company is in the process of making a 24" extension wing for my table saw that includes a router lift. The truth is I don't use my table saw much anymore but it would see more service with a very high quality router accessory that I can use for close tolerance work. My Beis fence and the Incra Ultra fixture that hangs on the wall would both be more useful with a first class routing surface to work from.
Here are three pictures that Chris sent me of my extension wing in progress. The wing is being custom made to fit my Grizzly 1023 table saw and matched to fit the rails on my Beis fence.
Looks to me like Powermatic has made a saw for an Ohio State fan. The paint scheme is Scarlet and Grey and Wood Werks is in Columbus, looks like a true Buckeye Table Saw to me.
Keith -
I showed those pics to my PM2000, and now she's not speaking to me until I get her one! lol
But seriosly "when"?

OH NO - The Wolverines are reading this post. Twenty Five years working at Ohio State have kind of made me a Buckeye fan, but I bet that saw would look good in Maize and Blue as well.
Let's face it, at least you showed up for your bowl game that is more than we can say -- unfortunately:-( I have the feeling with that new spread offense you will be running in Ann Arbor things are going to get very interesting in the next few years. It will probably take a couple seasons to get everything in place, but I think Michigan has a lot to look forward to...
