Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my Jet table saw with router lift with this Powermatic 5hp. Amazon shipped as stated the saw arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was straight forward. The polishing swirl marks on the table extensions helped locate and identify the left from right. 5hp 220 volts required 10 gauge 3 conductor wiring and a 40 amp breaker. I used a clothes dryer type connector at the shop wall and wired the 10/3 cable direct to the saw switch panel. The 10/3 wire cable is available at Home Centers by the foot. Caution when wiring the saw switch panel - do not remove the jumper wire - the instructions are not very clear at this point.
I replaced all the fastners with stainless steel ones and replaced the motor cover screws with studs and nylon lock nuts with fender washers. The fence rails aligned so perfectly that the cursor on the fence required NO adjustment. The cursor is hair line design and the best I've seen. Very easy to read. The fence required a slight adjustment to allow recommended clearance at the end of the fence for Forrest blades.
Zero clearance inserts are quite easy with 1/2 inch batlic birch plywood. Couple passes on the jointer made them a perfect fit.
I am very pleased with the fit and finish. Ripping 5/4 beech was effortless. I look forward to many years of happy woodworking.

For a second, it almost looks too good to use for work--but only for a second. This is a piece of shop equipment that makes a toolhound's heart beat faster. The saw's big table (28 by 38 inches) is impressively thick and durable, so it will stay flat and true. With the heaviest cast-iron trunnion of any 10-inch saw on the market, the model 66 virtually snuffs out all vibration. The double drive-belt system, hooked up to the burly 5-horsepower motor, delivers pretty astonishing power to the blade; we tried everything we could think of--including a big hunk of oak two-by--but the blade never bogged down for a second. A C-flange mount takes the weight of the motor, so the blade cranks up or down easily without the extra weight. The saw's hand wheels are also made of cast iron and have excellent clearance.
The heart of any table saw, arguably, is the fence--and Powermatic's model 66 sports the award-winning Accu-Fence, a system that uses only two moving parts to create easy-gliding, precision, no-budge fence action. The left-tilting blade tilts away from the fence, which helps prevent kickback and binding of the stock, making for smoother cuts. The two-sided blade guards work independently of each other, so the blade is always covered. The guards also swing totally out of the way to make blade changes easy. Behind the blade, there are antikickback pawls for added safety. The saw's base has a clean-out door, allowing you easy access to the saw body and making cleanup a snap--no reaching around the saw components or having to remove the motor cover. You'll also receive a load of extras, including a dado insert, a motor cover, and an extension table and legs. Admittedly, this isn't a cheap saw; without a doubt, however, it is an excellent one that would make a great addition to any shop. --Jon Groebner
