I let this guy know he should be selling it as a Porter Cable. He replied
that it is a Powermatic.
I am confused.

Not to my knowledge.

He lists it as a Porter Cable below the heading with model number.

A couple of years ago powermatic had a router lift built into the 66
extension table as a special edition. maybe his dealer threw in the
router (Porter Cable) and he is confused.

I believe that the PC router is really a Speedmatic. It has been around for
a long time.

Powermatic is still owned by WMH Tool Group.

Black & Decker bought Pentair in 2004. From the Black & Decker's
"Company Information" web site:

"2004 - Black & Decker ® announce the purchase of the Tools Group from
Pentair, Inc. (NYSE: PNR) for approximately $775 million in cash. The
Tools Group, which includes the Porter-Cable, Delta, DeVilbiss Air
Power, Oldham Saw, and FLEX businesses, had sales of $1.08 billion and
operating profit of $82 million in 2003."

Correct. Jet is not a company but a brand owned by WMH as is
Powermatic, Performax, etc.



Black & Decker bought Pentair in 2004. From the Black & Decker's
"Company Information" web site:

A slight slip there. Black & Decker bought the "Pentair Tool Group",
not Pentair. Of course, those of us who still have a few shares of
Pentair stock are hoping and praying that someone will buy the rest of
the corporation and put us out of our misery.
