Powermatic 1791271K Model 64 Artisan 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-1/2 Horsepower Contractor Saw with 50-Inch Accu-Fence, Router Lift, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board, and Legs, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase

When I started looking for a table saw, I was like most people...confused. With all the different choices on the market coupled with the fear of not buying enough table saw or buying too much table saw, I had a challenging problem to work out.

After speaking with reviewing many woodworking sources (shop owners, magazines, friends), I finally purchased this Powermatic Table Saw. Powermatic (now owned by Jet Power Tools) is one of the best table saw manufactures hands down. They take time developing and engineering their machinery to perform ideal for any situation and last you for the long haul.

This might be an expensive toy, but if you are going to spend the money on the right tool, spend it on this one. The saw overall is first-rate. The blade height adjustment and angle stops are exact and reliable. The fence system is dependable. It is steady and accurate. This fence system comes with a 50" extension table to help support large sheets of plywood and other large...Read more

I purchased this saw assuming that being a Powermatic it would be good quality and well made.The table is ground so poorly the out of flatness is measurable with tape measure.The rails that the fence rides on are bowed 3/16 and 1/8 inch new ones are supposedly on the way.Lots of the hardware was missing.Large burrs and poor machining on all theoretically flat surfaces.
Calls to the tech line have resulted in inconsistent specs on how flat the
table should be with specs varying from .015 "(no chance its that flat) to
.036"that is slightly more than1/32"and yes it is at least that warped.Grizzly and Woodtech can hold tighter tolerances according to the magazines.I strongly recomend against this product.Wish I had saved 4 or 5 hundred bucks and purchased someone elses table saw kit.
The router lift is awesomely well made and works perfecly Jessem and their tech line I rate very highly

The saw shipped in a timely manner and though I had a one problem with it, Amazon took care of it promptly and made it quite stress free.

The saw itself is well built, has a good manual, and runs very well. Produces very clean cuts and requires very little recalibration once it is set up. I like the fence much more than the Delta/Biesmeyer setup personally. I ran this saw on 110 for a while and wished it was a bit stronger. I then wired to 220 and have been thrilled with it's performance.

The Router Lift works well and has a nice precise mechanism. The router fence isn't great but for most of what I've done (which arguably is not typical), the fence for the table saw works fine for the router lift.

Dust collection for the router lift is limited to above the table only. You really need an enclosure below with a dust port to properly collect dust.

I don't have a workbench yet and use the extension table for an assembly table...Read more
