Remember when you were a little kid and how your eyes lit in anticipation up
just before you started opening your Christmas presents?
Feeling the same thing right now aren't you? :)
Isn't that the curved front unit that required the matching powermatic base?

It arrived!! The Powermatic 60B jointer was delivered yesterday in perfect
condition. Only one very minor blemish where a box inside the crate rubbed
the fence only so slightly. Beautiful workmanship. The box, which looked
like a Luann coffin, was not damaged in the least. haven't had a chance to
crank her up yet, I have to install a 220 outlet.
The thing that impresses me most so far is how smooth the table is. I think
they actual use a grinder, unlike my Unisaw which still has tool marks where
it was run through the shaper.
I looking forward to seeing how well this thing works.
BTW, I also received a 16.5" Delta drill press, but haven't had a chance to
open the box yet.

I'm not certain if its curved front or not, my bandsaw is. Even so, a piece
of 3/4 ply between the mobile base and jointer base would fix that problem.
I saw where one person said that it was about 1/4" shy of 24"X18", but that
doesn't seem correct.
