Found a Powermatic 111??? on Craig's list. Quick Google finds me nothing. Anyone know what level/quality/vintage a Powermatic 111 Tablesaw is?

All you guys that know tools well, sound off if you haven't heard of this model.

Seller said 111 = 66

I have tried to contact seller with no response. I'm a craig's list newbie, so I'm probably doing that wrong

There are lots of powermatic tools that I could see someone calling a Powermatic 111 - the faceplate below the height wheel says "POWERMATIC III" on it, for some reason.lemme find a pic...

Here's a shaper with the emblem I'm sure they're reading from:

Be careful, though. I've seen this emblem on both 66's and 64's - the 64's a contractor saw NOT a cabinet saw. The 64's a great saw, though, so if the price's right ...

I googled "Powermatic 111" and found the craigslist posting - it says 240v 3hp - one could assume that's a cabinet saw - i don't know of any contractor saw with a 3hp motor on it. I suppose you could assume it's a 66 :P

For the price, it's worth a look.
