Old Powermatic FS 350 Jointer ???

[Gregory Stahl]

Does anyone know anything about this model? I can't find anything about it online (including owwm), but it looks like a nice machine. I have been on a kick buying green/white Powermatic equipment lately.....

Should I stay away from it? I don't really need it as I have a 12" jointer already, but this one looks much heavier than mine, and I have to admit, I like the old Powermatic green and white.

Thanks,
Greg Stahl

Are you sure about the brand/model? I believe MiniMax sells an FS 350 jointer

Made in Italy by SAC and sold by powermatic.

My mistake, it's model designation is FS 305, not 350 as I mentioned earlier. I found a picture of one here, but the one I saw was green and white:

At $1450 with a belt feeder it's a real deal if it's in running condition.......Rod.

Here is a pic of a pretty much mint 16" powermatic, also made by SAC.

The guys that use it really like it. Dont have much more to add, personally.
