collection by keeping more of the blade area enclosed. Both side leaves can be rotated up out of the way independently to make measuring cut widths easy and more accurate. The entire side leaf assembly can be removed from the splitter by depressing a button at the hinge point to

increase access for blade changes without having to remove the splitter assembly.

The splitter plate is mounted

directly to the arbor housing so that the gap between it and the blade remains constant through height and bevel settings.

When necessary for procedures like cutting dados, the splitter assembly can be removed by simply flipping its locking lever within the throat opening and lifting it out.

Because the splitter is mounted directly to the blade mechanism, the gap between it and the blade never changes during height or angle adjustments. This maintains the safety a splitter affords in virtually all cutting situations.

Accu-Fence

A key feature of any table saw is the fence system. To maximize accuracy and safety, the POWERMATIC PM3000 comes with the POWERMATIC exclusive Accu-Fence. Based on the venerable T-square design, the POWERMATIC Accu-Fence takes this concept to new levels.

The Accu-Fence on the PM3000 has a maximum rip capacity of 50” to the right of the blade. It also affords 14” of rip capacity to the left of the blade.

We use tough, high-lubricity slabs of

HDPE to make the Accu-Fence

faces. These faces are easy to adjust

up and down when necessary.

Even high-end fence systems are based on a length of square or rectangular steel with

laminate-covered wooden faces. Manufacturing tolerances in the tubing itself require shimming to straighten the face material mated to it. POWERMATIC takes the extra step of milling the square tubing to be sure that it and the face it supports are straight without having to be shimmed.
