Carpenter and builder Rob Robillard from http://www.AConcordCarpenter.com explains the features on the new Powermatic PM1000 table saw. • Visit Rob's website where he shares his industry training and experience to provide solutions to your problems and to make appropriate PRO recommendations for purchasing products, tools and accessories. • Powermatic PM1000 10-Inch Table-saw:JET and Powermatic Media Event 2013 • Powermatic released the PM1000 in late July, it is slated as the little brother of the PM2000. • This is a fantastic mid-size option that runs on 115v power but has a nice full size 54 table [with an extension table]. • The riving knife is mounted to the blade housing which keeps the blade guard at a constant height relative to the blade. The blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are well thought out, however the riving knife won't allow for a blind through cut. • Unfortunately they don't currently offer an optional low profile riving knife, I think this would be a smart item to add to this tool or at least as an option. • The compact footprint of the PM1000 is great for smaller shops that still call for a high quality saw with a fully enclosed case, dust collection and a high quality trunnion. • A poly V drive belt makes for quiet operation, less vibration and longer belt service. The dust shroud below table makes for more effective dust collection. The dust port is standard 4 so no adapters are needed. • 7 adjustment wheels make for easy changes to blade height and bevel angle. We liked the miter gauge with a built in sliding auxiliary fence. It even has a gear driven miter adjustment to 60º left or right, with positive stops at 30º and 45º in both directions. Pretty slick! • The Accu-Fence table saw fence has a solid [rear] lock and is easy to adjust in all directions. • To change the blade all you need is one wrench. A push button arbor lock allows you to loch the arbor and use only one wrench. No that is a nice feature! • The power switch has also been redesigned for quick and easy shutoff with hands, knees or hips. A plastic safety lockout [looked more like a mini plastic knife] for the power switch is provided. I was not a fan of this as these parts tend to fall out or get lost.
