Default Powermatic 3520B Unloaded from Truck

Marv, congratulations!

Be sure to get the remote switch assembly. And if you place it with the
motor end perpendicular to a wall remember to leave room for the knockout
bar. Obviously I forgot that when I first set mine up (designed the shop
spacing).

And I realized as I wired the pigtail with a plug that my 30a 240v circuit
had been way overkill. That 30a was what I'm used to seeing with a 2hp
motor.

Also my tailstock was "frozen" up. Powermatic tech said to just crank it
anyway and, yes, it did finally move. Scared me though as it seemed like way
too much pressure.

Lastly I found that no matter how much bulk there seems to be you can have
the thing sitting cockeyed. That's to say you need to level it on both axis
or it'll have a twist to the ways.

Happy turning

Not a gloat but I am darn glad we got the new 3520B unloaded from the
truck this afternoon. My son and I had to open the crate and unload it a
piece at a time but we got it done. That beast is heavy!!. It will be a
couple of weeks before it is together but I can hardly wait.
