![]() The Accu-Fence has replaceable sides with easy-access screws. View larger. |
It also comes complete with a beveled, front edge to facilitate smooth transitions of the miter gauge as it moves over the edge of the table.
No matter the size or thickness of the work piece, the Powermatic 64A'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 versatility, two cast-iron wings, a wood extension table with melamine surface, 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 get you started right away, the quick-connect power cord reduces assembly time.
Accu-Fence with 50-Inch Rip Capacity
The Powermatic 64A comes equipped with an Accu-Fence with a rip capacity of 50 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 may be 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. Replaceable sides with easy-access screws allow for quick adjustment close to the tabletop, so nothing will slip underneath.
Dimensions and Warranty Information
The Powermatic 64A measures 32 x 34 x 70 inches (W x H x D), weighs 343 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

The Accu-fence is very nice, better than any other standard fence. I did not appreciate it until I used a cheaper saw.... now I love it.My saw arrived in a beat up box, but it was well protected. The assembly wasnt too bad, I agree that if you could put together a BBQ this should not be too much harder. the hardest part is squaring it all up if you have never done it. It passed the nickel test barely and after some tuning it is very square. I added a Power Twist belt and now it is as smooth as a very expensive cabinet saw. Absolutely no vibration - it just hums. Sure, it works well without it, but thats like buyng a sports car and putting cheap tires on it. Others have said how bad the stock blade is, but I still use it for rough work, save the expensive blades for finish work. Its always best to have a few blades to rotate through. I have it on a mobile base, but I never move it, instead choosing to move the...Read more 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful: By Jason Lore (Houston, tx United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Powermatic 1791228K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2-Horsepower Contractor Saw with 50-Inch Accu-Fence, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board and Legs, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I've used the model 64 for about a year now in my basement cabinet shop to cut everything from 1/4 inch birch plywood to 8/4 oak. It is a great performer. Some comments:The saw cut true pretty much right out of the box. The blade was parallel to the fence and the 45 and 90 degree stops were correct. Little adjustment was needed. The saw is very solid and well-built, and shows virtually no movement when I lean hard against it. That 350+ pounds really pays off here. The cast iron table and wings arrive covered in a sticky tar to prevent rust. Right after you clean that off I would recommend at least one good coat of standard furniture paste wax. The top can oxidize quickly from hand prints or any water. I momentarily placed a glass of water on the table top and the ring mark is still there. The wax all but prevents this. Replacing the belt with a multi-link aftermarket belt does reduce the small amount of vibration that was there to begin with. To be honest, mine...Read more 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful: By Dave (Encinitas, California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Powermatic 1791228K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2-Horsepower Contractor Saw with 50-Inch Accu-Fence, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board and Legs, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I got this model because I'm going to start doing a bit of cabinetry work. I also purchased the Forrester WW2 and the Power Twist V-Belt - 3/8" x 4' due to previous Amazon buyers' comments. This 310 pound behemoth arrived in 5 separate boxes, and I had to help the delivery guy lest he lose his back. The only slightly damaged piece was the saw guard, but a few quick and careful bends restored it nicely.+ The installation guide ranks as a 6/10. While some of the instructions were really well done (like the stand setup), others were lacking (like the motor and the saw guard setup). Also, I found some errors in the product schematic provided at the back of the guide. Nonetheless, with perseverance and patience, setup is not that bad. + Technical support gets a 9/10. I called these folks because one of the two bolts which hold the pulley cover to the motor plate rubs against the motor. Thinking this was bad, I called tech support. They told me that contrary to...Read more |
