That's not the correct spindle.. The part number is 6293199. It was easy to find places whose website SAYS it's available. ALL of these places apparently drop shipped and Powermatic doesn't have any.

Is there a particular reason that you need that specific size?
Southern Tool
sells the PM29 with 3 spindles: 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4"
That webpage offers the 1" and the 1-1/4" spindles as accessories.
If you already have a large selection of cutters with 1-1/4" hub, someone that has a PM29 would have to say whether ot not you can use a spindle bushing on a 3/4" or a 1" spindle (like lots of us have to do on our RAS).
I did not try placing an order just to see if it was in stock.

This was to be my first shaper. I believe that the 1", as you said, is available. I looked, previous to buying this, about spindle size and concluded for myself I wanted 1.25. As of right now..however..I'm all about a solution to my current problem and appreciate what you are saying.

It would be a long-shot, but it would not hurt to post a WTB (want to buy) in SnS for the spindle that you want. There might be someone who doesn't use the larger spindle or who is parting out a PM29.
Someone else may comment about whether or not a PM29 is old enough to be in-scope for OWWM. Where does the placard on yours say that it was made? That matters more on Old WoodWorking Machines than it does on many other forums.

My Delta came with a 1.25 spindle, the cost of cutters was much higher than 3/4". I found a 3/4 spindle pretty quick.
Do you really need that size?
