I’d say I’m an intermediate woodworker. My previous table saw was a DeWalt job site saw, the 7491RS. It’s an excellent saw but with a small work surface.The good: excellent fit and finish. most parts are durable steel, chrome and iron that fit and function very well. packaging was excellent and all parts were present and in excellent condition. assembly was pretty straight forward. the measuring tape was off and was replaced quickly after a phone call. removing and re-applying the tape was easy. blade and table alignment were spot on. the fence needed only minor adjustment. mine was delivered to Home Depot and everything went very well there.The not so good: dust collection. it is worse than my DeWalt job site saw with a shop vac. my 64b is connected to a 650 cfm dust collector and it does worse. i’m in a garage so i wasn’t looking for a dust collection upgrade and contractor saws are what they are, but worse was unexpected. The culprit seems to be the blade/dust shroud. while its definitely better than not having one it has its shortcomings and limitations. its connected to a 2 inch or so hose that leads to a 4 inch port, limiting suction and access to dust. the rest of the space under the table is open and not connected to dust collection. as a result, the dust is flung by the blade and either drops to the floor or finds gaps in the table or stand to be flung or float everywhere. furthermore, the shroud is half, brittle plastic that is just off the arbor (the other half looks to be the quality steel that is typical of the saw). removing the blade has already cracked the plastic. My DeWalt saw, on the other hand, had the space to the right of the shroud (and under the table) closed with a durable fabric that kept dust in but allowed tilting of the blade. i’m making mods to see if i can control the dust.other options: i was very close to buying a sawstop contractor saw. however, it was about $1k more (similarly equipped except the blade brake) than what i paid for this saw during the 15% off. couldn’t justify it based on my use and purpose. buying this saw through Home Depot allows me to return the saw locally if needed, as opposed to going through Grizzly. The Grizzly saw that was comparable was $2-3 hundred less, I think.side notes: customer service is good if you call, not so good via email. the measuring tape and plastic shroud piece were replaced with no hassle and quickly. These are inexpensive items with easy replacement so maybe not the best test cases for customer service but thought I’d pass them on. I’m running the saw on a 20A breaker and have had no problems. Based on the 15A FLA I don’t see why I would. I’m getting 32 in rip capacity on my 30 in model. it comes in handy. The table insert for the blade is huge. i can’t find zero clearance inserts. the dado insert was not a good fit, but doable. the blade guard is very good, but i still don’t use it much. miter gauge is very nice.summary; The 64B is, for the most part, an excellent saw as far as they take it. sawing is executed well and accurately, and with mostly durable parts. ingenuity is lacking, however. it looks like the dust collection is an afterthought mod and not thought out to be the most efficient. the customer service and 5-year warranty are positives, so far. the description of the saw includes “with riving knife” which is now a decade old requirement. maybe the design is a little long in the tooth.

Boughtthis saw as a replacement for my 38 year old craftsman. My old saw was extremely underpowered and required constand tweaking for accuracy issues. I was going to get the PM1000 cabinet saw by powermatic, but just could not justify the cost. This saw is very well built and fit and finish are of the highest quality. My decision to buy powematic was based off a jointer i bought on sale. I am blown away with the quality and precision. Only used this saw for a few weeks but it is much nicer than i anticipated for a contractor saw… i do not regret it one bit!
