Local auction will be selling an older Powermatic cabinet saw, Model
71. Searching here reveals little on this saw; www.OWWM has a bit more, and some pics; a call to Powermatic turns up only scant info, no manual, and a parts diagram/list (which they helpfully e-mailed). What I know: early 60s manufacture date; listed as a 12" blade, 230v saw; the sale saw was probably used in a high school shop (got that chipped, institutional green, re-paint treatment), has full cast iron wings but no fence/rails (that I recall), and I haven't looked at the motor yet (won't be able to power it up). What might be a reasonable price to give for this saw, given it will probably need a complete rebuild (which I don't mind doing), possibly a new motor ($250+), and a fence/rail system ($250+). I currently use an old c-man contractors that I have sweetly tuned-up. I could possibly move the fence I now use. Thanks. Dan |

Given that description, if I can't turn it on, at least turn the arbor by hand to try to check state of bearings....if it isn't frozen and feels smooth, I'd give $2-300 at most. A tip. (My 1968 34-300 bearings just went, and you can't get them anymore). Put a saw blade on the arbor and remove the belt to test this. Without the weight, the bearings were smooth. With the extra weight, the roughness was more obvious. -- Sending unsolicited commercial e-mail to this account incurs a fee of $500 per message, and acknowledges the legality of this contract. |

Just an fyi...
New bearings can be had for about 15 bux. If its from a school - assume its 3 phase - unless you are sure otherwise. If its 3 phase make sure u know how you are going to power it - either a new motor or phase converter. Adjustment of this saw is a bit of a PITA (I have one and rebuild 1 from scratch - its actaully an ongoing project) The entire assembly hangs from the table. On the other hand - it is a tank - cast iron wings on a huge table. Its worth what you are willing to put into it. I paid 400 for mine - I replaced the motor ($85.00) and new bearings (15 bux - but a bitch to change) Took the entire thing apart and blasted everything - in the process of rebuilding it back. More of a labor of love and challange than a necessity. good luck w/ it. wrote in message oups.com... Local auction will be selling an older Powermatic cabinet saw, Model 71.

That was my major caveat...sometimes it's not easy to get the right replacement or there is a one-piece spindle ass'y that is essentially user-untouchable. These, I gather were an over-the-counter replacement...that's good and would raise my value limit significantly to know that a priori. |

I ended up getting them Acurate Bearings (I can dig up the number if needed)
Anyways - I told them what type of saw it was - they knew the bearing and had it out to me the next day. If i remember correctly it - it was like a 303 or something like that. Again - I can dig up my notes if anyone wants the exact info. "Duane Bozarth" wrote in message ... Rob V wrote: Just an fyi... New bearings can be had for about 15 bux. ...

Anyone know where I can obtain an arbor for my 71 cabinet saw. The threads have seen better days. My last resort is going to a machinist and having an arbor fabricated. Your thoughts -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/woodwo...-saw-3865-.htm |

Dan, I bought a Model 71 at an online auction. Figured I would change the motor to a single phase. My issue is the motor plate is missing and I dont know the HP or the frame number of the motor. Would you mind letting me know what yours says? Thanks in advance

You might be better off searching for a catalog or manual online. Try VintageMachinery.org for old catalogs and manuals. My experience is more power is better. Love my 3-hp Unisaw and wouldn't want less. Find the biggest motor you can afford that matches the shaft size of what you have and is compatible with you electric supply. Matching the mount or adapting something to fit shouldn't be too much of a problem. Good luck! Tom |
