Powermatic PM2000BT 10" Table Saw with ArmorGlide 3hp, 1PH, 230V (30" Rip) - PM1-PM23130KT

Powermatic PM2000BT 10" Table Saw with ArmorGlide 3hp, 1PH, 230V (30" Rip)

Now featuring ArmorGlide Technology that is low-friction and rust-resistant, the award-winning PM2000T table saw sets a new standard for innovation with an array of patented features and massive body design. The ArmorGlide coated cast iron tables are oversized, and the newly designed arbor lock lever is accessible from above the table top to eliminate the need for dual arbor wrenches.

The quick-release riving knife design helps reduce the chance of kickback. The blade tilt scale features an integrated digital readout as well as adjustable angle indicators for repetitive bevel cuts. The redesigned integrated retractable hydraulic caster system lifts your table saw much higher than the previous model to assist when moving over thresholds.

A wide stance, heavy-duty box trunnion and concave teeth on the trunnion gears promote easier raising and tilting of saw blade. Poly-V drive belt system results in quieter, more efficient power transfer from the motor to the arbor with virtually no vibration and less heat build-up. Improved built-in dust collection port with convenient access to the inside of the saw cabinet for simple clean-up. The saw has a proprietary safety switch with magnetic interlock and the stop button can be knee activated.

ArmorGlide Technology pros:

• Enhanced visibility: The dark surface reduces glare, so you can see where you're cutting better.
• Rust resistant: Ditch the steel wool and never worry about rust again.
• Low friction: Coated tables require 50% less force, so you get more control.
• Maintenance-free: Get rid of the waxes and messy cleaning supplies, so you can do more of what you love.
• Durable coating: ArmorGlide tables can withstand 250,000 passes without showing signs of wear.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean regularly: After each use, remove sawdust, debris, and wood chips from the table, blade, and motor to prevent buildup and ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect the blade: Check for any dullness, wear, or damage to the blade. Replace it as needed to maintain clean, precise cuts.
• Lubricate the ArmorGlide system: Apply lubricant to the ArmorGlide coating on the rails and fence for smooth, accurate adjustments during cutting.
• Check blade alignment: Ensure the blade is properly aligned with the fence and miter gauge for accurate and straight cuts.
• Inspect the drive belt: Check the drive belt for wear and proper tension. Replace or adjust as necessary to ensure optimal power transfer.
• Tighten fasteners: Periodically check and tighten all screws, bolts, and other fasteners to reduce vibrations and ensure the saw operates smoothly.
• Monitor motor and electrical components: Inspect the motor, wiring, and electrical components for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections to ensure safe and efficient operation.
