Reviews:
Powermatic's model 66 table saw is a beautiful thing right out of
the box, its high-grade cast-iron top machine-polished to a mirror
finish. For a second, it almost looks too good to use for work--but
only for a second. This is a piece of shop equipment that makes
a toolhound's heart beat faster. The saw's big table (28 by 38 inches)
is impressively thick and durable, so it will stay flat and true.
With the heaviest cast-iron trunnion of any 10-inch saw on the market,
the model 66 virtually snuffs out all vibration. This model also
includes Powermatic's Excalibur table extension with a cross-cutting
fence, which can be angled for making miter cuts. The double drive-belt
system, hooked up to the burly 5-horsepower motor, delivers pretty
astonishing power to the blade; we tried everything we could think
of--including a big hunk of oak two-by--but the blade never bogged
down for a second. A C-flange mount takes the weight of the motor,
so the blade cranks up or down easily without the extra weight.
The saw's hand wheels are also made of cast iron and have excellent
clearance.
The heart of any table saw, arguably, is the fence--and Powermatic's
model 66 sports the award-winning Accu-Fence, a system that uses
only two moving parts to create easy-gliding, precision, no-budge
fence action. The left-tilting blade tilts away from the fence,
which helps prevent kickback and binding of the stock, making for
smoother cuts. The two-sided blade guards work independently of
each other so the blade is always covered. The guards also swing
totally out of the way to make blade changes easy. Behind the blade,
there are antikickback pawls for added safety. The saw's base has
a clean-out door, allowing you easy access to the saw body and making
cleanup a snap--no reaching around the saw components or having
to remove the motor cover. You'll also receive a load of extras,
including a dado insert, a motor cover, and an extension table and
legs. Admittedly, this isn't a cheap saw; without a doubt, however,
it is an excellent one that would make a great addition to any shop.
