Yes, I dare go there.
Powermatic. Love 'em or hate 'em they are part of the American machinery landscape.
I remember back in the nineties when the magazines were praising the 66 to the skies.
Stronger arbor chassis/assembly, bigger trunnions etc.
Then they waffled on about the advantages of left tilting blades. Dubious at best.
Safer they said.
Well all I can tell you is given the choice we avoided the beast like the plague.
No wonder they gave it that number.
Never trusted anything that tilted to the left.
Then or now.
"Commander Cody. Execute PM66."
It shall be done my lord...
And don't get me started on their thickness planers. They have miraculous power's some consider unnatural.
Like cutterhead Diameters.....and segmented infeed rolls.
You are a bold one.
Not even the younglings survived.
Who could have done this ?
By a PM 66 this kickback was caused.
Victory you say !
Begun the machine wars have.
PM 66 " The Beast"
