Powermatic 2000B Table Saw 5HP 1Ph 230V 30" Rip with Accu-Fence

Powermatic 2000B Table Saw For Demanding Shops

Powermatic 2000B table saw brings a 5HP, 1Ph, 230V motor together with a 30 inch rip capacity, giving cabinet and millwork shops the power and cut width needed for full-size sheet and solid stock work. The one-piece cast iron box trunnion provides the strongest stability of any Powermatic table saw, so the blade stays solid under load, which helps maintain accurate cuts on heavy or dense material. Precision-ground, high-luster cast iron tabletops with front and rear edge bevel create a flat, smooth work surface while the beveled edges reduce catching when handling large panels. The industrial-duty 30 inch Accu-Fence System keeps the fence tracking straight for consistent rip widths, supporting safer feed and repeatable setups. An integrated digital readout for bevel cuts provides precise angle reference, which supports accurate joinery and fitting work without repeated trial cuts.

Key Powermatic 2000B Details That Save Time

• The one-piece cast iron box trunnion delivers the strongest stability of any Powermatic table saw, keeping the blade path steady under load so alignment holds during ripping and crosscutting.
• The industrial-duty 30 inch Accu-Fence System supports accurate cuts and increased safety, helping the fence lock parallel and reducing the need for constant rechecking between passes.
• The integrated digital readout for bevel cuts provides precise bevel settings, allowing operators to dial in angles quickly for miters and joinery and repeat them reliably across multiple parts.
• The integrated hydraulic caster system allows movement around the shop, so the saw can be positioned for workflow, cleared for large assemblies, or shifted to optimize dust collection layouts.
• The arbor lock enables quick and easy blade changes, reducing downtime when switching between general-purpose, dado, or fine-cut blades during a production day.
• The precision-ground, high-luster cast iron tabletops with front and rear edge bevel give a smooth, flat reference surface while the beveled edges ease material transitions on and off the table.

Installation, Setup, And Accurate Cut Alignment

The 5HP, 1Ph, 230V configuration ties the PM2000B table saw to standard single-phase 230V shop power, simplifying electrical integration in many small to mid-size shops. The industrial-duty 30 inch Accu-Fence System works with the precision-ground cast iron tabletops to create a stable reference plane and reliable rip guide, which supports alignment during initial setup and day-to-day use. The integrated digital readout for bevel cuts adds an angle reference at the saw, helping operators set blade tilt precisely when bringing the machine into service or adjusting for specific jobs. With the one-piece cast iron box trunnion supporting the internal mechanism, the saw is built so alignment choices made at installation stay consistent through regular operation. The integrated hydraulic caster system lets the saw be positioned where infeed and outfeed space fit the job.

How This Powermatic Table Saw Works In Practice

Where The Powermatic 2000B Table Saw Excels

The Powermatic 2000B table saw, identified as PM2000B, 5HP, 1Ph, 230V with 30 inch rip capacity, is built for shops working hardwood, sheet goods, and composite materials that benefit from full-depth cuts and stable support. The one-piece cast iron box trunnion provides the strongest stability of any Powermatic table saw, so blade position holds when feeding thick stock or long rips, which is useful for cabinet carcasses, face frames, and architectural components. Precision-ground, high-luster cast iron tabletops with front and rear edge bevel supply a true reference surface for jigs, sleds, and fixtures, while the beveled edges help panels slide on and off without catching. The industrial-duty 30 inch Accu-Fence System ensures accurate cuts and increased safety, aligning rip work for cabinet parts, door stiles, and trim pieces. Together, these elements support production-oriented workflows where consistent cuts matter.

Features That Support Repeatable, Low-Rework Results

The industrial-duty 30 inch Accu-Fence System pairs with the stable trunnion to keep rips parallel, which reduces rework caused by binding or tapered parts. The integrated digital readout for bevel cuts gives a numeric reference for blade tilt, so operators can return to common bevel angles quickly when repeating moldings or miters. An arbor lock provides quick and easy blade changes, minimizing time between switching from ripping blades to crosscut or specialty blades, which supports efficient batching of operations. The integrated hydraulic caster system enables movement around the shop, letting crews orient the saw to match infeed, outfeed, and material staging for each project. With the 5HP, 1Ph, 230V motor driving the blade, the saw delivers the power needed to maintain speed through demanding cuts, helping edges stay cleaner so downstream sanding and fitting steps stay predictable.
