    American Beauty or Powermatic 4224B

    Good day everyone! There have been many posts regarding the Robust AB vs the Powermatic 3520 series but I haven’t seen much on the 4224. Can anyone share their thoughts comparing these two? Well loaded the 4224 comes in a little over 3k less than the AB. Thanks all!
