Purchased this saw in Waco, Tex. from a woodworker who had it in his shop for just over a year. He bought it from the estate of home woodworker who was the original owner. All original everything and in great working condition: Century 1.5hp, 1ph. motor, cast iron rip fence and rails, miter gauge, arbor wrench. This saw was hardly used over that last 60 years considering what unbelievable shape it is in. In addition to an overall deep cleaning, the pulleys were aligned, the original paint was wet sanded and buffed out, a tight fitting plywood floor was installed in the cabinet, miter gauge was repaired and painted, a NOS Powermatic motor cover added, as well as a NOS 2002 Biesemeyer fence, rails, and legs and a new Powermatic magnetic switch with all new wiring.
