WOW- being a professional cabinetmaker for the pasts 30 years I have collected a lot of tools and machinery to help me in producing my cabinetry. I like a new machine when i can get it and some older machines are great too if they have not been missused. I bought this powermatic 27S for a great price and when I received it it was missing the miter slot. The ad showed one and in the specs it listed with or without a miter slot. well let me tell you it has to be one or the other not both. I wanted this USA made machine because so much of the new stuff is junk and hard to get parts. well this was dissapointing to and trying to get powermatic or amazon to correct this HAS TAKEN ME OVER A MONTH. good luck? you would be better off going to a wood machinery dealer. I'M STILL WAITNG FOR A NEW TOP WITH THE MITER SLOT THE OTHER TOP WAS POOR QUALITY!
