Very nice! I thought I did well on my $50 1960s version, but wow.

I wish mine still had the fence like yours does!

Build the shop now why you have the energy and disposable income, and use it now and when you retire.

The Powermatic 81 came standard with about 12" of resaw height. As an option, you could buy one with greater resaw height at an additional cost. I don't know how common those saws are, but that looks like what you got. That just increases how much you suck. But you'll want to measure the saw before ordering blades because a blade for a standard PM 81 will be too short. Congrats on a getting a great saw.
