I purchased this Model 68 Powermatic table saw from a cabinet builder in Slidell, LA for $1000. I sand blasted and repainted it and replaced the belts and bearings with new ones. It has a 5-hp 3-phase Marithon motor and a 50" Biesemeyer fence. I do not know if this is the first one made because the trunion had 2 holes for the raising arm for the blade. And the raising arm was also extended and the table was a modified 72 table with pads added where it mounts to the base. If anyone knows, please contact me to let me know if this is the first year of the Model 68.
