Jet 708110K Swing Arm Sliding Table

 (9 customer reviews)

It's incredible how substantial this table is for the money. Received it in good shape via Fed-Ex on a pallet. Assembly was fairly quick, although having to drill holes in the saw's main stand took some time. The assembly was straight forward, although difficult at times because of some unclear assembly drawings(typical of JET). Dialing it in took some time, but once completed, it runs true. The most difficult thing about the whole purchase, was trying to understand how this slide operated from the online picture. I just had faith that it was going to work well. Now that I have installed it... the table is guided mainly by the heavy duty 2.5" dia. steel tube(shown near where the left wing attached). The left outside edge of the table is supported and connected to a black wrist bracket attached to the swing arm (shown hinged to the left corner of the saw). The sliding action forces the swing arm to pivot on the hinge. Another steel tube, extends/retracts from the swing...Read more

THE LARGE CAPACITY AND PRECISION OF THE SWING ARM TABLE MORE THAN JUSTIFY THE LONG SETUP TIME AND EXPENSE. THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF EASY ENOUGH BUT THE ADJUSTMENTS WERE A BIT CONFUSING AT FIRST.THE FIT AND FINISH ARE GOOD AND I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW HEAVY DUTY ALL OF THE PARTS ARE. WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE I HAD A GREAT ADDITION TO MY SAW. WITH THE FENCE MOUNTED IN BACK I CAN RIP OR CROSSCUT A 48 INCH PIECE WITH ACCURACY OF +/- 1-32 OR SO.THE TABLE GLIDES PRETTY SMOOTH AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF ADJUSTING EVERYTHING ON IT. AFTER YOU OBTAIN A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ALL OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS WORK THEY ARE A SNAP TO USE.THE ADJUSTABLE WIDTH SUPPORT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TABLE REALY MAKES CROSSCUTING LONG STOCK UP TO 10 FEET A BREEZE.A COUPLE OF THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOUGH ARE CLAMPS TO HOLD DOWN THE STOCK AND THE ADDITION OF A THIRD BERRING FOR THE TABLE TO GLIDE ON.THESE WOULD GREATLY ADD TO THE PRECISION OF THE SAW WICH IS ALREADY FAR BETTER THAN A MITER GAUGE AND EASIER TO...Read more

Saw it at a WW show and thought it was about the most sturdy and functional sliding table available. If you want 48" crosscut capacity this is your table. I haven't had much time to use it since I got it on my saw but cuts are quick and square. However set up can be a bear, set aside at least a day where you won't need your saw. I had problems with the angle iron attachment to the saw cabinet. (I have an older unisaw, newer saws have more square bases) the angle iron needs to be a bit larger to fit around the curved base so the adjustments work. Most of my non 5 star rating however comes from the use of a racheting handles on the fence adjustment rather than knobs. It makes removing the fence a bit time consuming. The unit should also come with a shorter fence as well as the long one. It would be a bit easier to handle for smaller panels. The hold down bolts for the fence must be completely removed each time as well to get back to a flat table for ripping. These are little...Read more
