Powermatic 66 (PM66 PM 66) Table Saw Tablesaw Restoration Threads on OWWM

Modified on 2022/02/05 13:27 by MarkCA1 Categorized as Tablesaws
Here are some Powermatic 66 documents/publication reprints and threads that I assembled in a meta-analysis of various threads on owwm.org and vintagemachinery.org.  

==Motor Frame Sizes==
I have a PM66 with a "Frame 56C motor" although people have talked about other frame sizes in their PM65/PM66.  Basically you have to spend some time with your saw, measure the motor that's in there, and compare overall dimensions since an extra long motor may hit the cabinet.  I found the following tools really helpful:

==vintagemachinery.org publication reprints & Photos==
This is the date of publication, the title, and the number in parentheses is the number of pages in the document (e.g. "(18)").
