Default Powermatic bandsaw info?

geez, Brian, I don't think I was "shooting the messenger"! I didn't
call you names did I? Did I insult you? Didn't mean too, just by
saying that the article about vibration was a 'crock'.

where city are you in?

OK, then its a crock. Don't shoot the messenger. Let me find that link and
get back to you.... BTW, since I'm not far from the Bay Area, maybe I could
check yours out in person. :-)

om...

that is a TOTAL CROCK, Brian. I have one AFTER seeing a brand new unit
run at the WW show. IT is smoother than the Delta. In fact it doesn't
vibrate any more than a sewing machine. I'm serious. It is SWEET.

I recently read a 14" bandsaw comparison article (wish I had the link


handy)

which indicated that the Powermatic suffered from far more vibration


that

most others in its class. This alone would steer me away, personally.

The consensus favorite for the review was the Jet 14" model. I'll try


to

dig up the link to this article.

FWIW.

news

I've heard good things about the Powermatic 14" bandsaw (mostly here,
actually), but can't find much info about it. Powermatic's web site
doesn't mention it at all, and Amazon doesn't carry it. Can anyone
point me to some info and/or places (preferably online) that are selling

it?


Thanks,

Forrest
