- How does the PM2000T compare with the SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw?
- Both are 10-inch cabinet saws with cast-iron tops and good fences. The Powermatic adds the ArmorGlide surface; the SawStop adds a blade brake that stops on contact with skin. The Powermatic is the pick if you want the smoother table and don't need the brake.
- Does the PM2000T need a special electrical circuit?
- Yes. It runs on 230V AC, so it needs a 230V circuit, not a standard 120V wall outlet. Confirm your shop wiring before buying.
- Is the ArmorGlide top durable?
- Owners report the coating holds up under normal shop use and keeps its slick feel. Treat it like any table top: keep it clean and avoid dragging sharp metal across it.
- What is the difference between the PM2000T and the older PM2000?
- The T model adds the ArmorGlide table coating and updated fence and guard details. The core cast-iron cabinet saw and 10-inch blade capacity carry over.
- Can it cut thick hardwood?
- Yes. The 230V motor and 10-inch blade handle thick hardwood and sheet goods; owners say it does not bog down in normal ripping.
- Does it come with a riving knife and guard?
- Yes. It ships with a riving knife that rises and tilts with the blade, plus a blade guard and a miter gauge.
