Description of JET 708100 JWTS-10 10-Inch WorkShop Table Saw

This JET Tablesaw features a powerful 1-1/2HP motor with a poly-V drive belt transfer system to more efficiently power the saw blade. With a unique trunnion design, the motor is completely within the tablesaw cabinet rather than hanging out the backside like on competitive units. The steel extension tables give you a much larger working surface to help support the project while the double locking fence and deluxe miter gauge allow for precision cuts on any project. The unit has a left tilting blade for more controlled bevel cutting and offers a maximum 3-1/8" depth of cut at 90 degrees.

This is an excellent tool for jobsite use. It?s accurate enough to build cabinets and doors on site, and it's a trim carpenter?s dream to have on hand. With accuracy and a wide 30-inch fence, it beats the pants off a portable table saw. This saw comes with a high precision fence and a powerful motor for the toughest sawing operations. The motor is enclosed to prevent damage from the usual jobsite hazards. This contractor saw is another high-quality tool from Jet. It is accurate enough to be used for the small garage wood shop, where space is of the essence. -- Gabriel Shantara Ford

Tools and Hardware Reviews of JET 708100 JWTS-10 10-Inch WorkShop Table Saw

Customer Review: Very Positive Initial Impression
Summary: 5 Stars

After much research I decided to take the plunge and buy this saw. I was a little concerned about the different approach Jet has taken with this saw to mount the motor inside the saw enclosure because I could not find any advertisement that showed photos of this and I did not want to have a "table-top saw mounted on a stand". It turns out this is a "REAL" saw and actually how they have mounted the motor under the table is pretty impressive and in fact it has a two belt drive system, one "regular belt to one shaft and another short and flat belt from that shaft to the arbor in a very compact assembly.

Assembly required approximately 4 hours, I agree with previous reviews that the assembly instructions are a little hard to read (part identification numbers are strange in the assembly directions), eventually I just quit using them, you almost don't need them.

The packaging was superb, all pieces including all nuts and bolts neatly separated into individual plastic bags. There is not even one extra screw with this saw which I suppose speaks well for JET's quality control but if you get a bad screw you will be supplying your own. I bought this saw as an upgrade to a $200 portable table saw which burned the edges of my wood... not worth trying to align... wanted a better saw anyway...

This saw came perfectly aligned, the fence is actually quite impressive and is perfectly square... I am impressed with the miter gauge, it is substantial and had a snug fit. I second the comment that adjusting the side-wings takes a little finesse but you soon see how to do it and it comes out very well..

Cutting wood with this saw is like cutting butter compared with my other saw and what a beautiful cut it makes... like I said, this saw came perfectly aligned from the factory but should you need it the zero and forty-five degree adjustments are made with two allen screws from the top of the table.

Initial impressions are quite good. I bought a mobile base but when I saw how sturdy the wheels themselves are with this saw, I decided not to use the mobile base. Moving the saw is sort of like moving a wheel-barrow which is not too bad from what I have seen so far..

So far, I like it and really look forward to using it more.

******* ADDITIONAL COMMENT (after a few days...)*******

Just a small modification to my review.... after moving the saw around a bit more, I have to agree with the previous reviewer's comment about the legs shimmying too much when you try to roll the saw. I ended up with one wheel that was getting a bit chewed up even when I removed the lock-down thumb screw because the leg twisted enough to make alignment a problem. I removed the casters and adjustment screws from all four legs and put the saw in a craftsman mobile base set at 28" x 28". It works just fine and I would recommend anyone buying this saw to do the same if you want to be able to move it around. The picture of the JET mobile base looks just like the Craftsman for what it's worth.
