I am about to get pushed out the door at the office and want to get my shop
in first class shape before retirement. The old contractors table saw is
going to be replaced and I have always longed for a Powermatic 66.
Today I stumbled into a deal on the Jet 708663MBK for $1,320. That's about
1K less than the Powermatic 66. I am having a hard time justifying that
extra as I sit looking at my old Sears jointer. That could be replaced with
a long bed version for around 1K.
Any advice on the Jet table saw?


Upon retirement, I bought the PM66 because I deserved it, I wanted that
one, and to hell with the extra K$. You get what you pay for and I have
never regretted that decision. A few years later, my old Sears jointer
tried to maim me so I gave it away and bought the Griz G0500. How many
years do you have left and should you short yourself for a few bucks?
