1988 PM 72. I got this from my local dealer. He had it under a tarp for a while and was planning on keeping it for himself. I guess he needed the cash, so I got it for what I considered to be a good deal. The saw weighs around 700 pounds and has a nice heavy cast iron top and two extension wings. The Biesemeyer fence appears to have been standard. No dust door, but came with the standard table insert. It is a 1" arbor. As you all know, probably 90" of all ts saw blades have a 5/8" arbor, so it can be a little bit of a pain to find parts and accessories. That said, this saw has a 7.5 hp 3 ph motor. The bearings were all fine. The only thing it needed was a good cleaning and rust removal. I also swapped out the short Bies tube it came with for a 52" set off a unisaw.
