From the Manufacturer A powerful 1-1/2-horsepower motor combined with rugged construction and 50-inch Accu-Fence system make the Artisan 10-inch table saw the premier table saw for the contractor, craftsman, or home hobbyist. Other features include the T-slot miter gauge, which increases accuracy and flexibility in stock width capabilities, and solid cast-iron extension wings, providing ruggedness for increased accuracy and longevity. The unitized wiring system is readily removed for portability. Shown with optional mobile base. Amazon.com This saw lives up to Powermatic's reputation for rugged construction and unrivaled performance. The cast-iron tabletop and its two wings are ground to a mirror-like finish with amazing accuracy in flatness. One thing we've always liked about Powermatic's saws is the left-tilting arbor. Tilting the blade to the left--away from the fence--eliminates the need for a sacrificial fence and reduces the risk of the piece binding under the blade. The 50-inch Accu-Fence that comes with this package is easy to use and as accurate as we could hope. An interior spring applies constant pressure when not locked down, which takes the slop out of fence movement, improving speed and accuracy. It also has replaceable sides with easy-access screws. Users can adjust the sides so close to the tabletop that laminates will not slip underneath. Powermatic has also made it easier to align the fence rails parallel to the tabletop, making initial setup of this package that much quicker. Another advantage is the longer bar of the T-slot miter gauge, which allows users to crosscut wider stock. The Powermatic 64 is a great choice for the home shop and contractors who need a stationary saw. Shops that regularly produce cabinetry and other large projects will want to consider a step up to one of Powermatic's 66 series saws. Overall, Powermatic table saws are top quality, and are built to the tightest tolerances in the industry. --Nancy Gleason |
