Very small length and the wire coil in not at all flexible.

When you are charging your phone, you can NOT talk using your palm. Wire is not at all flexible. @#$#@@@#$%%

EEE with Solid State Drive was my choice because I'm going to use it mostly in the car and public transport, instead of PDA.
After playing with default Linux-based system, tried to install XP to the second large SSD - it was too slow. Reinstalled to the first small one - works much faster, but

Slow and not much blood, not that there's anything wrong with that. Only that if you're weighing whether to sit through 2 and a half hours of a movie, you'd prefer to go in with no illusions. This movie is an allegorical story that in both its substance and form deconstructs the illusions we live

Does the job!
8/31/2008
I have one complaint ... the base and motor bracket came damaged. None of the manufacturers package heavy tools in a way to stand up to the abuse that seems common among carriers. Complaint over ...

One email to Powermatic got a new base shipped the same day. When it arrived my neighbors all seemed to be out. With the saw body still in the box, I laid the base on its side, slid the saw to the base, bolted it up and pivoted the saw into the upright position. Following the instruction step by step (had to think about a few of the steps) the saw was up and running.

After cutting a few scraps I cut the feet for a trestle table. The wood was 8/4 cherry and I must say that the cuts in both the straight and curved sections were very clean with no burning. A few minutes at the spindle sander and I was good to go.

While I'm still waiting for a selection of TimberWolf blades to arrive I just couldn't wait to try a little resawing. I cut several 1/4" thick pieces from an 8/4 x 5 1/2" x 20" piece of cherry. I had to go slow and back off occasionally to allow the gullets to clear (this is not a resaw blade) the results were usable after a bit of sanding. The small, plastic, resaw post while cheap looking, did the job.

Fit and finish are at least as good as the other major manufacturers. The optional mobile base makes it easy to push this out of the way in my garage/workshop when I'm not using it.

Landfill

I have had this saw for 8 months and it has had problems from the begining - the latest the quick release - does not work - I am sick of calling the manufacturer and will dump this thousand dollar piece of garbage with pleasure myself - fair warning :)

Assembly Instructions
7/24/2008
The instructions to assemble the saw were among the worst I have ever seen. Steps were missing so that once a certain point in the assembly was reached you had to take it apart again to complete the missing step. This happened 4 different times. The photography showing most steps was poor at best. I wound of with extra parts that I still have been unable to determine what they were used for. I assume the extra parts are from another missing step in the instructions.

Just spend the money and enjoy!
6/30/2008
You know there are a few tools every wood worker needs. Every wood worker needs those tools to work and work well and this saw does just that. This band saw is the perfect addition to your shop and will be the last band saw you will buy. From the carter quick release to the exceptional roller bearings this saw is a work of art and function.

When I got mine I had a hard time swallowing the price, but after using it I have never regretted the cost. I cut fine veneers, 3/32 thick and large thick stock to make corbels from hard wood and never and I mean never have to struggle to get something right!! Change blades no problem, tilt the bed no problem, and cut dovetails? No problem... And that is what you get NO PROBLEMS!!

I have owned delta, craftsman etc..... This saw is a dream!!! I hardly ever used my other band saws. Now I can hardly stop using this one. I even rip rough stock with it.

Just buy it; it will be the last one you'll ever need to buy.

Great saw
4/24/2008
So I don't rewrite everything that has been said I'll be brief. Purchased this saw during Woodcraft sale Feb 2008 which included the mobile base and riser block.
1. Current saw/riser blocks do not have an alignment problem. This is fixed.
2. It's priced a little higher than some 14" bandsaws but I believe you should buy a good tool if you plan to use it a lot. This is a good saw for the money. Period.
3. If you are cutting anything over 1/2" the stock blade is useless. There are a lot of opinions on which blade is best so do your research. I'm using the Timberwolf blades from PS Wood because they run at a lower tension. I'm getting great results and I think the lower tension means my saw will last much longer. Just get a good blade that is designed for what you are cutting and you will be much happier.
