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

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.

call Southern Tool at 1-800-458-3687 to find out when they will get
one. They are EXCEPTIONAL to deal with. I bought my jointer from them
and found them a pleasure to do business with. They've been around a
long time.

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.

He doesn't even own one; how the hell would he know if it vibrated or
not? We all know the trouble I had with the Delta and all the tips for
replacing the Delta's sheave, etc, to ATTEMPT to tame that beast. At
least the few X5's I've seen aren't as bad as the 299A.

Here's the quote: "The only one that had a problem with vibration was the
Powermatic. With this saw, the nuts that held the stand together vibrated
loose. And the table rattled and shook when I made a bevel cut."

And the link: http://www.woodnet.net/toolreviews/bsaw_rev.html

Now, with the vibration "issue" aside, it doesn't sound like they disliked
the Powermatic per se, but that the Powermatic didn't shine above the
rest...

anyone seeing and using the new Powermatic could not like it far better
than the Delta. I realize that's my opinion, but this is a NEW tool,
that not many guys have seen yet. When they do they are gonna wish they
didn't have the Delta. Just like I wish I didn't have a 733 planer, now
that the 735 is out. That is a dynamite planer. I've seen it in
action, and have peered under the hood. Blade changes are easier, 3
cutters, double sided, yeah, baby!

All tests should be read with skepticism, both the good and the bad reports.
The vibration could be real, but it could be an assembly problem, or perhaps
a bad pulley or belt. They did not try to correct it from what was printed.

Ayup, Keeter got one of the good ones. Solid Frame not split, they run
like dreams. When JET bought PM I think that was the first one they
dumped from the line and replaced with a JET type.

Me, today I would buy a General of Canada solid frame bandsoar.

If I want to do serious re-saw work I would think seriously of a
larger machine with true re-saw capabilities.
OR a good piece of old ahrn like a WT or Cresent.

where again is the article? I'd be curious to see it! I hated the
Delta
I had, even though LOTS of guys like theirs, and I can't fathom how
anyone seeing and using the new Powermatic could not like it far
better
than the Delta. I realize that's my opinion, but this is a NEW tool,
that not many guys have seen yet. When they do they are gonna wish
they
didn't have the Delta. Just like I wish I didn't have a 733
planer, now
that the 735 is out. That is a dynamite planer. I've seen it in
action, and have peered under the hood. Blade changes are easier, 3
cutters, double sided, yeah, baby!

that's anecdotal and just plain silly. The saw is phenomenal.
Trust
me, I'm one of the "picky" ones. Plenty of folks can vouch for my
persnicketyness. Google my complaints about the PC557 if you don't
think I notice every little thing...and that's just for starters.
