Powermatic 2000 blade inserts

[Chad Wallace]

Can anyone tell me if the blade inserts are the same for the PM2000 and the 66 table saws?

Thanks,

Chad,

I believe they are different. I just purchased a PM2000 in December and I ordered a dado insert with it. As I recall, it had a different part number than the one for the PM66.

No they are not the same..the throat sizes are different (the 66 has a much smaller opening because it doesn't have the big riving knife). I've been using the Lee Craft ones in mine and have been happy with them so far...would like to see some more options/manufacturers of PM 2000 stuff out there though...

Thanks for your answers and your time guys? I found a good deal on craigslist for a dado blade insert for the 66 and just ordered me a new PM2000 and was hoping it would work. I see my luck hasn't changed yet.:confused:
