Tools and Hardware Reviews of Powermatic 1792003K Model PM2000 3 HP 1-Phase Table Saw with 30-Inch Accu-Fence System and Rout-R-LiftCustomer Review: Drop the Rout-R-Lift Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this saw for a couple of months now. It was a toss-up between this and the SawStop Professional. I would have preferred the SawStop for the safety item but could not afford the price. I am now very comfortable with this saw and the difference does not bother me. The saw is very well built. The castor system works well for me, but it raises the saw only a small distance with a lot of cranking; perhaps 1/4". My garage seems perfectly flat, it is not and i have to crank it up a lot. The Rout-R-Lift is a different story all together- They should be ashamed to sell this piece of junk with such a fine saw. First the table has absolutely no provision for feather boards or a miter slot. Second the table is 3/4 plastic coated MDF. Completely unfit- I tossed it, cut down my router table board and installed it. Still the plate size of the Rout-R-Lift is too large to use the miter slot with a standard feather board; i have to make my own. Do youself a favor, get the 1790002k, buy one of the new routers with the bottom adjustment option, and get a simple table with a good miter slot and fence.
PROS:
Great saw
Very helpful tech support
Integrated castors
Fits my small garage well
CONS:
Rout-R-Lift completely unusable
30" fence means no 32" standard height cabinet cuts, but you might work around this. The SawStop has a 36" saw.
Note:
When tighting after a blade change, only hold the blade with three fingers. The blade tightens on its own with use. Using the arbor lock will over tighten the blade, making it very difficult to remove.
