Meehanite is the process they followed when making cast iron. Back in the late 80’s I believe the US government shut down the Powermatic foundry for OSHA reasons. the table saw tops were then made by General in Canada and shipped to Powermatic rough milled. Powermatic then milled to final dimensions but no longer waited to machine them. the castings laying around outside the factory were actually damaged or missed cast tops, The Meehanite process eliminated or severely shortened the “seasoning ” process by using different alloys and casting technics.
