Great jointer at any price! April 6, 2009
JL (Shingle Springs, CA USA)
I just bought the Powermatic 54A used. It's heavy (fence alone weighs about 50 pounds), stable and solid. I needed to tune it up as the prior owner apparantly never did. Once everything was trued up, it mills edges and surfaces very nicely. The long beds are a true luxury in this class. I looked at the Jet and found it toy-like.
I will append this review later after I've worked with the machine for a while but I'm expecting great things. My only minor complaint is the mechanism to lower and raise the infeed table. I wish it had a handwheel instead of the lever.
Good 'ole Powermatic - won't let you down.
Perfect. October 11, 2008

I sat aside plenty of time to assemble and true this machine when I put it in my shop. Assembly was quick and easy. Instructions were excellent. When I set ou tot true the beds and fence I found everything to be DEAD ON from the factory. DEAD ON.
Easy to adjust and has plenty of power.
It works flawlessly and I have absolutely no complaints. 2 years of running it nearly every day and I every time I run a board through I am glad spent the extra $$ on the yellow machine.
Only wish I had bought the 8" version.
NICE! April 30, 2008

Needed a jointer with a longer bed so after about 3 weeks of deciding I bought this one. I read about 50-60 reviews on this machine on different forums and never saw anything but the highest rating. I have read about how heavy it was and people say get 3 or 4 others to help lift it. Bull! It's heavy but me and my wife both 62 years old struggled a bit but got it together in about an hour. I liked the delivery of it right in my garage. In came on a pallet the truck had a liftgate and a hand operate forklift. Now you may not be as lucky and have easy accesss to you shop but for me it was sweet. The machine works like a dream. All i had to do was align the fence a little. I did get the mobile base which i would recommened even though i thought it was a bit pricy. But it was made in the USA.
Very Happy March 11, 2007

I bought my Powermatic Jointer 3 years ago from a local dealer. After a very simple set up, and some minor adjustments to the fence mechanism, the machine was ready to work within an hour. I use the jointer for truing one or two sides of sawn hardwood in preparing stock for a project. I could not be happier with the results. This unit has stayed in adjustment, the fence is easy to use, it is very quiet, and the dust collection chute works. The extra length of the bed makes working with long material very easy. This Powermatic jointer continues to look brand new, and continues to work like brand new. I am very happy with this purchase.
What a jointer! February 7, 2007

This machine is awesome! It was easy to assemble and most settings were dead on from the factory. It has significant mass and the long bed make edge jointing long boards a breeze. No more cutting boards to short lengths. I changed the wiring to 230-volts because my shop has a floor outlet already for 230-volts. The wiring was easy to get to and the wiring diagram simple to read. I would recommend this jointer to anyone.
