I want to say thanks to all the feedback I received on the post I
sent. I was pretty wound up when I posted. Now I shall provide an
update.
The packaging was not damaged in shipping, it was poorly packed at the
factory. Granted it is an industrial piece of equipment, but I think
they could have done better. Amazon has responded to my requests for
replacement parts, they should come in 7-10 days? I did find the
standard blade insert from Powermatic is bent, and Amazon is getting a
letter for that.
I did want to buy a saw local, but when I called the local guys they
were out and woudn't be getting any until after the price increased.
Amazon had it in stock and in the 30 inch fence model. Decision was
made by default.
I have the machine assembled now. I did buy a 1 inch wrench ($8.00 at
Sears)and grind it to fit the Arbor. Now I'll have one for the future.
I also used the cheapo bolts, after reading a couple of comments on
which I prefered breaking, table or bolt and the bolt did win. The
lousy manual will be tossed in the drawer, not to be needed again.
I cut some wood with a old Freud blade and it was nice and smooth.
I'll install the WWII afer I am done adjusting the table.
Thanks to all... (I really enjoyed the satellite photo, ouch thats
gonna cost big bucks)
Update
Don't know if you're following this thread anymore but I found
underneath some stuff on my bench the larger ardor wrench for my PM66.
So PM did include it it was in small box eith the other wrench an
miter gauge
