Title: don't buy a powermatic
Review: I didn't buy my saw through Amazon and have no beef with them. I bought a used 2 or 3 year old Powermatic saw that seemed to be almost unused. I bought it because of it's reputation. Bad idea. The quick release didn't work which makes it impossible to change blades. Long story short, I got the blade changed and while using it, something snapped and the upper wheel slammed into the shroud. I never had any problems with my old Delta that I had for 5 years.I took it to the local Powermantic service center, they kept it a week, gave it back. First cut I tried, same thing happened again. So, I called Powermatic's service technician. They were of no help, just said to order parts. Couldn't tell me why the release and tensioner wasn't working. Faulted me for buying a used saw. Hopfully, if you buy a Powermatic it runs well because repair help is hard to find.
