Powered by a 1.5-horsepower, single-phase, 115/230-volt motor, the Powermatic 64 features a left-tilting arbor that lets the user tilt the blade away from the fence. This eliminates the need for a sacrificial fence and reduces the risk of your work piece binding under the blade.
It also comes with a beveled front edge to facilitate smooth transitions of the miter gauge as it moves over the front edge of the table.
No matter the size or thickness of the work piece, the Powermatic 64's exclusive 3VX belt offers increased efficiency--especially when compared to standard belts--and less vibration for smooth operation. And when dealing with wider stock, users will appreciate the T-slot miter gauge with positive stops.
Versatile, Expandable Design
For greater versatility, two cast-iron wings, a melamine-surfaced wood extension table, and an independent leaf safety guard come standard, while a lockable push-button switch with removable safety key protects against accidental starts.
And to help users get started right away, the quick-connect power cord reduces assembly time.
Accu-Fence with 30-Inch Rip Capacity
The Powermatic 64 comes equipped with an Accu-Fence with a rip capacity of 30 inches to the right of the blade for reliable accuracy and to help make each job faster and more precise. This fence length is particularly ideal for a home shop where space is an issue.
For greater speed and accuracy, an interior spring applies constant pressure when not locked down, which takes the slop out of fence movement. Also, replaceable sides with easy-access screws allow quick adjustment close enough to the tabletop so that nothing will slip underneath.
Dimensions and Warranty Information
The Powermatic 64 measures 32 x 34 x 50 inches (W x H x D), weighs 343 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

This review is from: Powermatic 1791227K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2-Horsepower Contractor Saw with 30-Inch Accu-Fence and 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I have owned this saw for just about 15 months, I only use it in the winter months so I think it has had enough use to rate it and I hope you find this information helpful. mostly I will spell out the negatives because I think they are the most helpful when choosing a machine. keeping in mind this is a medium price point piece of equipment so you can't expect everything from it and by no means is it a cheapy so you should expect good things. that being said. It, like everyone says is heavy, feels quite solid when using it. the motor runs well @ 220 and will cut 4/4 very well up until ebony, 6/4 mostly but don't go too fast, and 8/4 ok with the medium to softer woods, if you take your time with harder woods, but will noticeably slow down. the motor is very heavy but the mount is stamped and flimsy causing vibration with the belt that is impossible to eliminate. the blade is not true to the slots ( I'm not sure that the slots are true to the slots) and is near impossible to true up. you...Read more 44 of 45 people found the following review helpful:  Powermatic 64, By This review is from: Powermatic 1791227K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2-Horsepower Contractor Saw with 30-Inch Accu-Fence and 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) This is my first table saw, pondered many others and settled on the 64. Purchased from local dealer and fit in the back of an Explorer. I completed most of the assembly in one afternoon and by myself. The fence tube was damaged on one end, a replacement from Powermatic took about a month. The hardware kit did not include the bolts etc. for the wood extension table. The glide on the rear of the fence was not attached, had to call Powermatic for instructions. The instructions for the motor bracket were not clear, took several tries. Don't install the blade guard/splitter until after you have aligned the blade. Do not over-tighten the bolts that secure the fence tube. The dealer did not have the mobile base in stock, purchased after the saw was assembled and it took 3 hefty dudes to lift it onto the base, had to loosen the leg bolts to adjust the legs to fit the stand. If you ever intend to move this saw, get a mobile base. Wish the wheels on the base were larger to provide more ground...Read more 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful:  I really like this saw, By A Customer This review is from: Powermatic 1791227K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2-Horsepower Contractor Saw with 30-Inch Accu-Fence and 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I have been using a Sears 8" bench top saw for the past 35 years and decided that I deserved to move up to a better machine. I have, over the years, made everything from buildings to musical instruments and toys and decided that fighting that little saw was going to get me hurt. I researched all the saws on the internet and visited the stores in the area and decided that this Powermatic 10" saw was what I really wanted. I took the chance and ordered it from Amazon.com.I'm glad I did. The saw was delivered 3 days after I ordered it in good condition. The delivery man stayed around while I opened the boxes and determined that everything was OK. I then undertook the task of assembly. If you buy this saw, wait till you are rested, have plenty of uninterupted time, send the wife and kids to the movies (unless they are the helpful type) and enjoy putting this machine together. The instructions are well written and illustrated. Follow them carefully and you should...Read more |
