Title: what I expected
Product review: Most of my experience with powermatic has been with the heavier industrial woodworking machinery, so I was not sure how the lighter, contractor line would perform. I'm pleased to say that the saw performs as I would expect from powermatic... great! The only problem I found was that I had to readjust the trunnion alignment a little, but I've had to do this on other saws also to get them just right so it was no big deal. The saw went together easily and is stable for a contractor saw but I still added additional bolts to the fence for rigidity. I upgraded to a zero clearance plate and a link belt to reduce vibration (which wasn't bad anyway). It's a good tool for the money and I'd buy it again.
