I am interested in the Powermatic 14CS bandsaw.  In the Band Saw review in the 2004 Taunton Tool Guide, pp. 12-15 the review says that the Powermatic 14CS bandsaw is only able to achieve 9,500 PSI tension, below the ideal 15,000 PSI.  The article also says that the Powermatic that they reviewed is a prototype

Do anyone know if the production Powermatic 14CS bandsaws can achieve 15,000 PSI (was the prototype limited in some way)?  Does Powermatic have any plans to increase the tension?  Is it possible to achieve 15,000 PSI with an after-market tension spring? Please forward these questions to your Powermatic representative if appropriate.

Thanks,
Larry
