Comments:

I mechanically restored this machine several years ago and painted it gold to match the color Powermatic was using at the time. I put on Carter Guides. The top wheel cover door was beat in badly so I beat it back out with a hammer. It still looks awful, but it runs great. It is in service at the Craig County High School in New Castle, Virginia. Note the other machines in the background.
