CB Tools in San Jose has them as of today. They can't keep 'em in stock.

I saw some mention in a BS comparison that the Powermatic could only be tensioned to about half what the Delta 14" could be...

Not good for resawing if thats true.

did you stay up all night dreaming that one up?

You really should change your addy to "Bluster Again Dave". It would be infinitely more appropriate.

Best tension achieved in the FWW No153 tests was 15000psi at 3/4" tension. Best results were achieved by the Shop Fox G9970, RIGID BS1400 and the General 90-100 M1; each achieving 15,000psi. The Jet machine came in at

10,000psi.

The Powermatic was not one of the test machines.
