Hello All,
Hoping you Powermatic users can help. I am wanting to confirm that this is indeed a Powermatic tool banjo. I ended up with it when I bought my lathe and cleaned it up for ebay. I'm pretty sure it's a Powermatic and I listed it as such, but don't want to mis-interpret. The reason I'm unsure as it came with an Oliver lathe I bought & there were some other Oliver lathes at the same location that I got mine but NO Powermatics. It's 1-1/8" hole.

Here's what it looked like when I got it. The green isn't the right shade, but it does look better now I think. A big 16" toolrest came with it but it wouldn't fit my Oliver. :( The backdrop is my 1900'ish Yerkes & Finan 12" Jointer. It's handy for photgraphing tools and occasionally jointing some stock. :)

Thanks for shedding any light on this.
