How we checked
source.url is the official Powermatic product page for the PM1500 (model 1791500), the exact 15-inch, 3 HP, 230V single-phase woodworking bandsaw. The Woodcraft corroboration listing (Item #855742, Model PM9-1791500) confirms the same model and carries every published spec verbatim — 14-1/2" throat / 14" resaw, 153" blade, 1/8"-1" blade width, 3100 SFPM, 21-1/2" x 16" table, 10°/45° (left/right) tilt, 3 HP — plus the $4,179.00 price. Amazon (PM1500, ASIN B00A86U254, "1791500") and WoodworkingShop (ds1791500) independently confirm the identical model and specs; net machine weight was not stated on any of these spec pages (Amazon shows only an ambiguous 394 lb item weight), so weight (lb) is left blank.
