Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jet 708110K Swing Arm Sliding Table
Customer Review: Excellent accuracy, straight-forward install and adjust
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this sliding table for 6 years or more and have been very pleased with its smoothness, accuracy, strength, and stability. There is amazingly little play in the entire mechanism.
It's true that it takes some time to get everything bolted together (including drilling a few holes) and carefully adjusted, but nothing is difficult and the instructions are clear and straight-forward. It's worth it for the repeatable 1/32" accuracy across a 48" crosscut.
The fence is very flexible. It can be mounted at the front edge or the back edge (the latter is required for the full 48+" crosscut capacity), and contrary to the one negative review, can be removed and re-installed with excellent accuracy and repeatability as long as you are consistent in the way you take up the slack in the hole for the right-hand T-bolt (e.g., pull the fence back towards you to take up the 1/32" to 1/16" extra space in the hole -- the left end has a calibratable stop for repositioning the fence for the basic 90-degree crosscut).
In all this time, I have found only two downsides, which probably apply to the entire concept of sliding tables and not specifically to this product.
-- The rail protrudes in front of the saw (as it does on all sliding tables I've seen), which is annoyingly in the way a bit during other operations.
-- The fence is in the way of any wide rips and just about any crosscut that doesn't use the sliding table and its fence. It's easy to loosen and slide it completely off the saw's main table plus about a half a foot, but that's all. Beyond that, you have to loosen the two T-bolt clamps and slide the fence off, plus you have to completely remove the right-hand T-bolt and knob.
