Very Good, But Price Is Unjustified
Wood Magazine, Volume 168, 2006-02

by Toolmark

The reviewer described this model as "very good" but when the price is considered, the Powermatic 60B for the same price was considered a better buy. Large handwheels control the infeed table, and these wheels are smooth and precise. The knives are easily changeable due to the spring-loaded cutterhead and knife setting gauge. This model easily cuts through hardwoods and its cut quality was almost as good as the Powermatic 60B. This model also has a five-year warranty. Some negatives of this machine are a short bed (the shortest of those tested), a base-mounted power switch, and no depth-of-cut limiter as a safety feature.
