Apparently there is a new Powermatic cabinet saw being introduced. Looks
like it has very nice features. To name a few, casters that drop down so
that you have a built in mobile base, a true and easily removable riving
knife, and a spindle lock.

percentage in China?

Being reasonably priced, probably similar to Jet.
I'm glad I got my 66 before they changed it.
For that kind of money the last thing I want is to be the guinea pig
on a new saw - did that with my Delta bandsaw and ended up with a
transition saw that didn't have the weight of the old saw, or the
features of the new.

I was just reading a review on the new powermatic 2000 and it looks awesome.
the spindle lock and riving knife are very nice features. along these same
lines jet has a new super saw out too which also looks really nice.

Same here. My PM66 will last a lifetime and probably more. Better
yet, it is a precision machine built in the USA.
