This company really sucks and I will never buy anything from it again and think twice before ordering off of amazon. when I order this table saw I did not know I was going to have to find missing parts for it later. I have had this machine about a month and never used because because of these missing parts.This is very disappointing for me.Jake Fenn
Motor burned up and seized after 2 years of very cared for moderate use. Mainly building custom speaker boxes out of MDF.and a very good blade, not the one that comes with it. Nice while it lasted.
The miter jig is so loose in the slot that it cannot be trusted. It cuts straight IF you throw away the ultra-crappy fence. The belt drive and sssembly structure are adequate for the price. It is a quick-and-dirty-use saw. It is made from totally substandard guage aluminum ( a couple of steps ubove Alcoa Oven Foil) and bows out at the center when clamped in position. I use the fence off the Craftsman 10" that I replaced with the JET. There is no zero clearance blade slot so don't try cutting small. I wish I spent the extra bucks on a Bosch or maybe even a higher model of Jet
I upgraded the blade to a good quaity Freud ripping blade which helped improve performance even further. After doing research on several different models and manufacturers I chose this saw mainly because of the belt drive, manufacturer, and positive feedback from other people. I purchased this saw to use for projects I have ongoing around the house. In addition to ripping I've also used a dado stack on this saw with much success. Overall the saw works great. The belt drive motor appears to have plenty of power and runs very smooth. The fence isn't the greatest, but what I expected for a saw in this price range. However if you measure the fence from the blade when you are settings its position you can get it perfectly parallel and obtain accurate results.
The Jet is alot smother running and quiter than most other saws at this price. After reading all of the reviews, I still wanted this belt driven saw.The mitre gauge and rip fence were better than I expected after reading the reviews.The mitre gauge and rip fence are about the same as you would find on any other saw at this price. I have a craftsman rip fence that works well on this Jet. The belt drive dosen't have as much vibration as other saws have. I am very pleased with this saw.
