Not a shopsmith, but i'm excited to make some saw dust with her.

Wow - a green Powermatic! --- made back in the days when they were still made in the USA. Congratulations.

Any idea of the year? It sure has that old tool look about it.

SWEET!!!!!!!!!! HP? Voltage?? For the home shop. I have passed on some just because either 3PH or 220. One around here a Delta cabinet saw on CL ses it it is 120V, I doubt that. My Delta 1HP with a good Freud thin kerf rip blade still works for me, table is not as big but I dont do many sheet stuff.

OOOOOOOOooooooooh... Drool!

Oh she's a beauty.. 2hp, 110v.. which surprised me.

The lady I bought it from thought it could be 30 years old, but wasn't sure.

I love old tools like this, it was well cared for by a departed craftsman.. I'm happy and honored to put this in my shop, and incorporate it into my woodworking.

I don't do much sheet stuff either... in fact I mostly turn pens, but I just couldn't pass it up.

For me it is an ER just save it and use it. As Skou sez they dont print them any more.

For sure.. I'm just glad it didn't go to scrap or worse.
and now that I have the proper saw, I can forsee a sheet goods project in my near future.

"Now that I have a 'proper' saw." Oh no you didn't! Not on the Shopsmith forum.
