Powermatic 64 and 64A

Name: Powermatic 64 and 64A
Brand: Powermatic
Availability: InStock

Powermatic launched its Artisan line for home shops in 1988, built in Taiwan rather than McMinnville, and the contractor saws were its backbone. The Model 63 came first with a Vega fence. The Model 64 followed in the 1990s with Powermatic's own Accu-Fence as standard, and the WMH-era 64A by 2004. They're open-stand saws with the motor hung out the back, a 1-1/2 HP single-phase motor prewired for 115 V and a ground cast-iron table with cast-iron grate wings. You can plug one into a garage outlet, you get a proper T-square fence, and two people can move it. It isn't a 66. For an old Powermatic that runs on house power and fits a small shop, though, this is the one to look for, and the fence is what makes a good one.

Power, iron, fence and freight

Power and phase: Every Model 64 and 64A we found came with a 1-1/2 HP single-phase motor wired for 115 V and rewirable to 230 V, with a manual switch. That makes it one of the easiest saws here to run in a garage. Check the motor plate in the photos to see which voltage it's set up for.
Motor and bearings: It's a contractor saw, so the motor hangs off the back and drives the arbor with a belt (Powermatic called it a 3VX belt drive on the 64A). Ask the seller to film it starting and running. It should come up to speed smoothly, without the motor bouncing on its mount.
Runout: Spin the arbor by hand with the belt off and feel for roughness, or check it with a dial indicator on the flange. If neither is possible, ask whether the bearings have been replaced and listen in the running video.
Table and rust: The table is ground cast iron, with cast-iron grate extensions on the 64 and 64A and stamped-steel wings on the 64S. Ask for a photo of the top with light raking across it. Light rust cleans up, but a crack or a warped wing is a real problem.
Fence, guards and gauges: The Model 64 came with Powermatic's Accu-Fence as standard in 1997 and 1998, in 28 or 50 in rip lengths (64L for the long one). The 2004 64A came with the Accu-Fence or a Micro-Glide fence. A complete saw also has its miter gauge and guard.
Trunnions and adjustments: On a contractor saw the trunnions bolt to the underside of the table. Ask the seller to crank the blade up, down and to 45 degrees on video. Plan to check the blade against a miter slot when it arrives, and adjust the trunnions if it isn't parallel.
Blades and knives: It takes ordinary 10 in blades on a 5/8 in arbor, and Powermatic shipped a dado insert as standard on the Model 64. Blades are easy. The original insert, guard and splitter are the parts to look for.
Dating it: The Powermatic serial tables cover only American-built machines, and the 63, 64 and 64A were imported Artisan-line machines. Date one by its manual, its paint (yellow from 1996) and its fence, or by the date on its label if there is one.
Moving it: Powermatic listed the Model 64 at 310 lb shipping and the 64A at 258 lb for the saw alone. Two people can move it in pieces with the wings and rails off. It fits in a pickup or a small trailer.
Safety upgrades: Check that the blade guard and splitter are included, and that the switch works. A saw with a bare blade needs them back before you use it.

Should come with it

Accu-Fence or Micro-Glide fence with both rails
Cast-iron extension wings (stamped steel on a 64S)
Blade guard and splitter
Miter gauge
Dado insert and standard insert

Hard to find if missing

Original guard and splitter
Accu-Fence rails in the right length

Check the listing photos against these lists, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing fence, guard or motor should come off the price.

What to check

The trunnions on an open-stand saw can be knocked out of alignment in a move, and the belt and motor mount wear. A missing fence or rail is the biggest thing to price in.

01Fence and rails: Check the photos for the fence and both rails. An Accu-Fence should slide freely and lock square.
02Model plate: Ask for a photo of the model plate. It should say 64, 64L, 64A or 64S, which tells you the wings and the era.
03Motor: Ask for a photo of the motor plate and how it's wired. It should be 1-1/2 HP single-phase, set for 115 or 230 V.
04Running: Ask for a video of the saw starting and running. The motor should spin up smoothly without bouncing.
05Height and tilt: Ask the seller to raise, lower and tilt the blade on video. Both wheels should turn smoothly end to end.
06Table and wings: Look at the top and wings in a raking-light photo. Light rust is fine, but cracks aren't.
07Alignment: Check the blade against a miter slot when it arrives. It should be parallel along the whole blade.

Buying guide

Which one to buy

§ Oct 19, 2026

The 64A came with a 1-1/2 HP single-phase motor wired for 115 V, so a stock one runs on house power. Of the two listed, we'd go for the $800 one, with the Accu-Fence on its rails and the switch, set into a plywood side table. The $758 listing shows only the fence rail. Take off the wings and rails and two people can load the 258 lb saw into a pickup.

You can see the Accu-Fence on its rails and the switch. The motor isn't in the photo, so get the plate, which should read 1-1/2 HP single-phase, and ask whether the side table comes along.
