text: The pictured saw looks identical to my Powermatic 66 table saw. I bought it new in late 1997 for $2100. The only difference is that I paid the extra $100 for the 5 hp. motor. I am a hobbyist, so the extent of my use is probably similar to the current owner’s use of the saw. My only experience with table saws is a Craftsman 1 hp. table saw and the PM 66. Therefore, I cannot verify unbob’s statement that the PM 66 may be the “best 10” saw ever made”, but I can say that it has been and continues to be a great saw that has consistently done everything I have asked and it is far superior to the Craftsman it replaced.
  Since 1997, it was moved long distance on two separate occasions. Last year I checked to ensure the blade and fence remained parallel to the mitre slot and found no adjustment was required. I have never had to make any re-adjustments. The only maintenance has been occasionally pumping grease into a grease zerk fitting near the motor shaft and lubricating the gears that tilt and raise the blade.
  The only problem I encountered was the green extension table surface began delaminating about a 1 or 2 ago. Somehow I manage to get enough contact cement into the void to re-attach the green surface to the substrate.
