Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Dust port: PM1500: two at 4" (100mm). PM1500T: 4 in.

One-sided rows: only Powermatic's cited pages give motor, current, phase, bevel capacity, table size, fence, speed, noise level, dimensions, weight and cord length. A missing figure is not a zero, so the PM1500 and PM1500T cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
