What’s really better….chocolate or vanilla, Pepsi or Coke, Chevy or Ford? If there was a definitive answer, only one would sell. It’s subjective. The end performance really boils down to setup and blade choice. so if your’s is set up well with a nice blade, yours is best! -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |

Dude enjoy the classic saw you have! Both the PM and Uni are awesome like both the GTO and 69 Camaro SS are great cars…. |

Since you bought a Unisaw, I’d say that’s the best one…...... Between the 2 I believe it comes down to little more than personal preference. I prefer a left tilt saw and Powermatic offered both in the 66. Beyond that, they are both solid machines. Hopefully the parts availability issue with Delta won’t be a problem for you. -- Artisan Woodworks of Texas.... www.awwtx.com |

Isn’t this the 4th tablesaw you’ve bought in the past two weeks? Or maybe I’m mistaken? |

Enjoy the Delta, great saw, especially the older American made, I bought one a few years ago and did a full rebuild, new motor bearings, new arbor bearings, etc, replaced the tri belts with link belts. Smoothest running and quitetest table saw I ever owned. When I decided I needed a Saw Stop, I told the dealer the SS had to be as smooth as the Delta, I can stand a nickle on the table of the Delta and start it and the nickle stands there, it does too on the SawStop, deal was made. Enjoy! -- Jim B |

They are comparable. Most old pros would probably say Powermatic was known at one time for a practice of The Unisaw is a great quality 10” saw and will last I recommend getting a static phase converter. You A VFD is another economical phase conversion option. You can also get a motor mount adapter (about $100 |

I seen this saw run before I bought it ….it ran super smooth. Came with white jet fence. 52” saw was very cheap. But I had to drive over. 230 miles one way to get it….but was worth it. |
