Table Surface
The 26”-wide (left-to-right) by
38”-deep primary cast iron table
surface expands to 48”-wide
when the included 11”-wide by
38”-deep cast iron extension
wings are bolted up.
A tough, 38” by 33” laminate-
covered extension table is also
included with the PM3000.
Added to the cast iron table surface overall support grows to a whopping 81”! The extension
table includes a pair of steel support legs, equipped with fully adjustable rubber-tipped feet for
added stability and support.
The included extension table expands the total supported area (left) to 81”! We
even bevel the back edge of the cast iron table (right) to eliminate the sharp corner
other leave that can damage the wood or our fingers.
All cast iron surfaces are finely ground to insure a smooth, mar-free work surface that provides
plenty of support for the
big jobs. We bevel the
front and rear edge of the
primary table and the
extension wings to
eliminate the sharp corner
commonly found on many
table saws where it meets
the extension wings.
Eliminating that corner
may sound insignificant
but it can easily gouge the
wood or an errant hand.
The t-shaped 3/8”-deep by ¾”-wide miter slots are precision machined for consistent width,
depth and parallelism. Standard sizing of the miter slots means they are compatible with all
popular accessories.
The finely polished cast iron table (left) has standard sized miter slots precisely machined
to be parallel to each other. We also include a full-featured miter gauge (right) with a fully
adjustable, extruded aluminum fence.
Removing the 21 5/8”-long by 4 ¼”-wide throat plate provides expansive access for blade
changing and working with our unique guard and splitter system. The standard and zero-
clearance (accessory #1791080) POWERMATIC PM3000 throat plates are slotted for use with
the splitter installed for
maximum performance and
safety. Placement of the
throat opening provides a
full 15 ½” of table surface
in front of the blade!
Our large throat plate (left) provide plenty of access for changing blades. The spring-
loaded balls (right) automatically keep the plates tightly in place.
