Now the required response from the group:



YOU SUCK


Update....

The saw was manufactured in 1996. I talked to Powermatic and they said they were amazed a saw like that could sit in a crate for 7 years untouched! According to Powermatic the only difference between a 1996 version is the dust port location, green vs black formica on the extension and the fact that it was made in McMinville, TN versus LaVergne TN.

he confirmed I got a great deal.

I finished tuning the saw last night, it runs as amazing as I ever expected!
