The PM66 is available today, and the PM2000 won't be out until June 2006, according to some reports. :)
Powermatic reply to my email said it is expected around the end of 2005.
Talked to the WMH (PM/Jet) rep at the Seven Corners tool show this week and was told the 2000 is an addition to the line- it won't replace the 66, is made in Taiwan, and should be available this quarter. According to the literature and the rep at the show it has lots of nice features; riving knife, built-in casters for mobility, poly belt drive, arbor lock for one wrench blade changes, and a blade shroud for better dust collection among other things.
Thanks for the info. I'm happy to hear the 66 will still be around.
