Table Saw Specification Sheet

beveled the rear edge of the primary table to eliminate the sharp corner found on many table
saws where it meets the extension wings. Eliminating that corner may sound insignificant but it
can gouge the wood or an errant
hand. The t-shaped 3/8”-deep by
¾”-wide miter slots are precision
machined for consistent width,
depth and parallelism. Standard
sizing of the miter slots means
they are compatible with all
popular accessories.
Removing the 17 7/8”-long by 4
¼”-wide throat plate provides increased access for blade changing and working with our unique
guard and splitter system. The standard and zero-clearance (accessory) POWERMATIC PM2000
throat plates are slotted for use with the splitter or accessory riving knifes installed for maximum
performance and safety.
(Left) A full range of throat inserts are available. (Right) The standard
and dado inserts feature spring-loaded balls that keep them placed
correctly and snug in the throat opening.
POWERMATIC PM2000 standard and dado throat plates feature a pair of spring-loaded check
balls that both locate the plate in its cavity and prevent movement during use. The accessory
zero-clearance insert has adjusting screws that allow precise fitting to the cavity.
Power and Control
The POWERMATIC PM2000 is available with a 3HP, single phase
230V, 5HP single phase 230V or 5HP three phase 230V motors. All
POWERMATIC motors are high quality, high output and rated at
their actual developed power – not the “peak” developed power.
The POWERMATIC PM2000 is equipped with a newly designed
magnetic ON/OFF switch. A green pilot light within the start button
indicates that the POWERMATIC PM2000 is connected to electrical
power. Depressing that illuminated button starts the POWERMATIC
PM2000. A large red “quick off” ring surrounds the ON button and
makes shutting the POWERMATIC PM2000 down a matter of
pressing the OFF ring by hand or bumping it with your leg.
To safeguard against accidental startups when you are not around
we added a removable magnetic “Key” that disables the Start/Stop
switch when it is not in place. When you leave the shop, you can drop the key in your pocket or
stick it on a handy metal surface in the shop.
The newly designed switch
allows disabling the PM2000
when you are not around and
protects against accidental
start-ups should the power go
out and come back on
unexpectedly.
The new switch also protects against under and over voltage conditions. If the electrical power
being delivered to the POWERMATIC PM2000 strays below or above safe levels, the switch
automatically shuts the saw down.
