Title: Great Powermatic bandsaw
Review: I needed to replace a Delta 14" bandsaw because its steel trunions cracked and the table literally fell off. The Delta was my starter bandsaw, and I learned a lot.When the Powermatic arrived, I got help lifting the top and bolting it to the base base. I was unable to install the drive belt, and after reading about the issue on the internet I called PM for help. PM provided the technical assistance I needed. It takes two people to install the belt, and in this case about 30 minutes of knuckle busting and heavy lifting.The PM runs smoothly. I will replace the bandsaw blade. I don't need the 6" riser now, so I will wait to install the riser when necessary.PM's instructional booklet could be improved. Other than that, I'm happy with the PM in my shop.
