I just purchased a 4-year-old 5hp PM-66 that had the rails cut down to
24". I was able to buy(steal) all the accessories for the 1660812K saw
on ebay for a great price including everything from the 50" rails to
the router lift and cabinet.
The problem I have now is what to do with the leftover items I have.
In particular I now have two sizes of the accu-fance. One is about 4"
longer than the other. I believe the longer is comparable to the Besi
commercial fence and was made for the PM72 saw.
Anyone know the advantages/disadvantages of the longer fence? The ony
possiable dis avantage I can see is that I may not be able to use a
rear fence lock. That is not a problem as I don't own one nor plan to
use it. I only wood work for a hobby and never plan to do production
work with the saw.

Thanks Leon. That is what I was thinking. I guess I just wanted
someone to agree. If anyone needs a great new fence and short rails
check on ebay for Powermatic or Accu-fence. I also have a spare motor
cover for a PM-66 if anyone needs it.

Keep and or use the longer one, it will provide more support for larger
boards and or panels when ripping.
