As some of you know, I missed out on a really nice Powermatic Artisan Table Saw 2 weeks ago...
Another one has popped up...
I have some concerns in finding the correct turn cranks for it but the owner states that it runs fine...
Price seems OK...
Any comments are appreciated...

I would want the cranks. Call powermatic and check out how much they cost.(if you can even get them)
If you can get the handles it looks real nice to me. Maybe you can budget say $250-300 total to get it how you want it. $300 for a saw that nice I think is pretty good. Post a few pictures after you get it!

I'd be concerned about the shafts the handles mount to. Did the get all beat up with pliers? If not you could probably improvise many handles off other tools To fit.

The fence is worth the asking price.

Thanks for the help guys...
I really appreciate it...
After I contacted the guy he already sold it...
I think I would be better off getting a newer unit...
I seem to be always a day late and a dollar short...

What's neat is I live in mcminville tn. I remeber when powermatic went out. I was just a wee little thing then.
