Powermatic PMST-48 Sliding Table Attachment

Powermatic PMST-48 Sliding Table Attachment For Saws

Powermatic PMST-48 sliding table attachment is designed as a sliding table kit for Powermatic saws, so it adds controlled support and movement when you are cross-cutting or ripping larger workpieces. The extruded aluminum cross-cut fence slides on the table, giving a straight, smooth guide surface that helps keep sheet goods and long parts tracking accurately through the cut. That same sliding action lets you quickly position the fence for repetitive work, which keeps layout time down on production runs.

The quick-locking fence lever easily locks and secures the fence, so once you have an angle or dimension set, it stays fixed while you feed stock. This lever-based locking also speeds up job changeovers because you can move from one setup to the next without fine-thread adjustments. The kit is identified as manufacturer part PM9-1794860K, which ties directly to the Powermatic PMST-48 sliding table attachment for ordering and replacement decisions.

The PMST-48 Powermatic sliding table attachment fits PM2000B and PM3000B models, matching the saws many shops already rely on. That fit lets you expand an existing Powermatic table saw into a larger material platform without changing core machines.

Key Sliding Table Details That Support Saw Work

• The extruded aluminum cross-cut fence slides on the table and quickly adjusts to varying angles, which gives you a straight, rigid guide that you can reposition for different cut layouts without rebuilding your setup.
• The quick-locking fence lever easily locks and secures the fence, so once you dial in a cut angle or length, the fence holds position through the cut, helping maintain consistency from part to part.
• The maximum rip capacity with the fence in the front position is 39 inches, which opens up wider ripping operations directly off the sliding section when you need more reach than the base saw table alone.
• The rip capacity increases to 41 to 49 inches with the fence in the rear position, giving extra width range so you can break down larger panels in fewer passes and handle broader casework or panels on the same setup.
• Maximum table travel is 62-1/2 inches, which provides extended sliding movement to carry longer workpieces fully past the blade, supporting both infeed and outfeed while keeping the stock registered to the fence.
• The miter angle adjusts from 0 degrees to 50 degrees with six hard stops, so you can hit common angles repeatedly while still having room for off-angle cuts, reducing layout time on standard miters.
• Steel-constructed main frame, table mounting brackets, and tube legs create a robust platform, so the assembly supports large materials and helps the table stay aligned under load during cutting.
• The PMST-48 sliding table attachment fits PM2000B and PM3000B models, integrating directly with those saws so you can extend their cross-cutting and panel-handling capacity inside the existing footprint.

Mounting And Adjustment Details For Shop Setup

The steel-constructed main frame, table mounting brackets, and tube legs create a robust platform, which helps the sliding table stay stable once mounted to a compatible saw. That rigid support is important when you are moving heavy sheet goods because the table needs to carry the material without flexing as it travels. Maximum table travel of 62-1/2 inches gives a long stroke, so when the unit is mounted and adjusted, the operator can pull or push workpieces well past the blade while they stay referenced against the fence.

The extruded aluminum cross-cut fence that slides on the table and quickly adjusts to varying angles simplifies the actual setup process. When you mount the assembly, you can position the fence to match your blade and then use the sliding action and quick-locking fence lever to fine-tune angles for daily work, which keeps alignment adjustments straightforward.

How This Sliding Table Kit Supports Saw Operation

Where The PMST-48 Sliding Table Attachment Fits

The PMST-48 sliding table kit fits PM2000B and PM3000B models, so it is intended to work directly with those Powermatic saws in shops that need more panel handling capacity. By matching these models, the steel-constructed main frame, table mounting brackets, and tube legs tie into the saw structure to create a single working platform, which matters when you are supporting large or heavy stock.

The maximum rip capacity with the fence in the front position is 39 inches, which extends how wide you can cut while still using the sliding table for guidance. When you set the fence to the rear position and gain 41 to 49 inches of rip capacity, the same kit lets you handle even wider material without changing to a different station, keeping both cross-cut and rip work centered on the PM2000B or PM3000B.

Maximum table travel of 62-1/2 inches defines how far the work can move along the saw line. That long travel distance lets you keep the workpiece supported before, through, and after the blade, which is particularly useful when you are processing doors, long panels, or multiple components in a sequence.

Details That Support Repeatable Angles And Workflow

The extruded aluminum cross-cut fence that slides on the table and quickly adjusts to varying angles is central to repeatable results. Because the fence is both rigid and movable, you can swing from square cuts to angled cuts using the same reference point, which helps reduce measurement variation between parts in a run.

The quick-locking fence lever that easily locks and secures the fence directly supports this workflow. Once you have the miter angle set anywhere between 0 degrees and 50 degrees, the lever locks the fence so it holds that position while you run multiple pieces, which supports consistent geometry without resetting gauges.

The miter angle range from 0 degrees to 50 degrees with six hard stops gives defined points for regularly used settings. Those hard stops help you land accurately on common angles during setup and move back to them later, which is helpful for projects that return to the same miters over time.

The ability to relocate the power switch box for better access with the added mounting plate and hardware changes how the operator interacts with the saw once the sliding table is in place. By improving reach to the power switch around the added table structure, the kit maintains convenient control locations during cutting operations.

Choose The PMST-48 Kit For Proven Powermatic Fit

The PMST-48 Powermatic sliding table kit is built around a steel-constructed main frame, table mounting brackets, and tube legs, so it creates a robust extension to compatible saws when installed. With maximum table travel of 62-1/2 inches, plus rip capacities of 39 inches in the front fence position and 41 to 49 inches in the rear position, it supports larger panels and longer parts on PM2000B and PM3000B models. Adding the extruded aluminum cross-cut fence, quick-locking fence lever, and 0 to 50 degree miter adjustment with six hard stops gives you a sliding table attachment that supports accurate cuts and repeatable setups in a Powermatic-focused shop.
