I have a Jet 1642 and was wondering if my accessories would all fit on a Powermatic 3520B?

I suspect the spindle size is the same but what about the distance between the ways?

Thanks,

Dave Fritz
 
John,

So the ways would be the same distance apart so my Robust Liberty banjo, bowl steady and Oneway coring system should fit too?

Thanks for the feedback. Now to await a sale.

I just measured the bed gaps on my 1642 and a Powermatic 3520. They are respectively 1 3/4" and 2 1/2" (more or less). Both have a 1 1/4" 8TPI spindles, and the shaft for the tool rest is 1" on both.
 
The jet has 16 inch swing over bed whereas the Powermatic has 20. This may make some jet accessory not compatible
