You guys are killing me here! Such beautiful parts, and I'm guessing not for huge profits, but as a way to add in part to the legacy of our great vehicles.... And as for McMinville Tennessee, I just finished a complete resto of my powermatic model 66 tablesaw which was made there in 1978. Had to do it over last weekend because during the week I can't earn a dime without it.

Yes that saw would have been made here. Powermatic has since moved. Interestingly in 1978 they were owned by Houdaille industries (same company related to the shocks on our early fords). I found a Houdaille industries sign at a local yard sell and never knew the connection to powermatic until recently
