I recently purchased an older used powermatic pm60 8" jointer that is in pretty nice condition. I am not sure of the vintage but it is of the yellow variety.
I did check the vee belt and I would like to order a replacement, although I am not sure of the best source for a replacement or the exact length.
I am also thinking of upgrading the cutter-head to a helical cutterhead with carbide inserts since it is also comming time to replace the knives. How difficult is the instalation of an aftermarket cutterhead and is it worth upgrading an older machine.
Hopefully I can get this jointer tuned up to perfection.
