I have a very similar setup with my older Craftsman vacuum and an Oneida Dust Deputy. The vacuum receptacle remains nearly empty after two years of duty on a contractor saw, DeWalt planer, floor...
Sorry for the delay in replying, we went out of town for a family visit. I picked up the Rust Reformer and tried it out on a couple of items to great effect. I have now taken everything apart and out...

I got the Ser. # from the seller, 65-138, so it would appear that it is a Model 66 built in 1965...
I found a listing on CL for a 3hp, single phase, Powermatic 66 with a Beismeyer fence and a router table wing including a 3hp DeWalt router for $1000. Haven’t seen or gotten a serial # yet, just a...
