Comments:

Bought this from a fellow OWWMer. It came from a school system in Georgia and had been sitting outside for some time before it was rescued. As is obvious, it was quite rusty. Everything moved at least a little bit. So far it has been disasembled and I have started derusting it using Electolysis. The table came out great but is dished by .007" So it will be reground. It has a 3hp 3 phase motor and will be replaced by a single phase motor. The switch box appears to be original as it has the original Powermatic green under the high school green and orange.
The table was reground to literally a mirror finish for $75.00 and the entire machine was de-rusted using electrolysis.
Just needs new belts, blades, wiring and to install the cutter head bearings.
