Smooth Speed Belt Drive Transmission for Vibration-Free, Quiet Operation
To help ensure truly smooth operation, the JBTS-10BT-3 comes equipped with Jet's exclusive "Smooth Speed" belt drive transmission with a poly-V belt to eliminate vibrations and extend the life of the motor. At the same time, this system provides quieter operation and an improved transfer of power over other models.
Precision Rule System and Dual Function Handwheel for Accurate Cuts
This saw's Precision Rule measurement system saves you time by providing quick identification of cutting capacity up to 24-1/2 inches (when wing is fully extended).It is also built with a dual function handwheel, which raises and bevels the blade for quick, accurate set up.
15 Amp, 5,000 RPM Motor Provides Power; Amply Sized Table for Versatility
A 15 Amp, 5,000 RPM motor provides plenty of raw cutting power, while precision-machined miter slots give you direct control of the miter gauge, resulting in higher-quality cuts. Additionally, a good-sized table measuring 20 x 27 inches includes an extension wing to create a cutting capacity of 24-1/2 inches. The JBTS-10BT-3 cuts up to three inches deep with the blade set at 90 degrees, and up to 2-1/2 inches deep when it's bevel-set at 45 degrees.
Additionally, the rear outfeed support converts to a left side extension, giving you even greater versatility.
User-Friendly Design with Built-In Storage
Designed to be user-friendly, the JBTS-10BT-3 requires minimal assembly and includes built-in storage for the power cord, rip fence, miter gauge, saw blade, and wrenches to help keep you organized and on-track.
The JBTS-10BT-3 measures 14.0 x 61.4 x 24.0 (WxHxL), weighs 52 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

I owned a $100 tablesaw I bought from the hardware store, and have had problems with the blades / spindle not cutting accurately. After going to all the hardware stores in the area, I found the problem was the same with all saws in the class. The direct-drive saws present issues keeping the blades rigid. This tablesaw from Jet was the only one with a belt-drive, that took the tension off the motor spindle allowing it to remain rigid and reduce viabration. It is also supported by all the accessories that Jet sells that are compatible with it. For the price, in its class - it is the best, simply because it uses the v-belt design on the spindle. 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: By Captain John "JRB" (Edmonds, WA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: JET 708315BTC JBTS-10BT-3 15 Amp Benchtop Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement) I've always heard great things about Jet table saws: quality manufacturing, quiet, reliable equipment, top-of-the-line tools that will provide years of service. How much of that would transfer to Jet's new 10" benchtop saw (Amazon price about $200) was the operative question for me.
I'm kind of an average weekend-do-it-yourselfer when it comes to woodworking and working with power tools like a table saw. I've owned a Delta 10" benchtop in the recent past, so I have some basis for comparison, though I have worked with similar, but professional grade equipment from time-to-time as well. SET UP and SAW CALIBRATION Setting up the Jet saw really wasn't very difficult; a precision square and a hex wrench to make adjustments had my blade square and parallel in no time; setting the 45-degree stop was more complicated and required a bit of muscle to wrestle the blade to the proper angle, but once done, everything was true as can be. Overall ease of set-up on a...Read more 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: JET 708315BTC JBTS-10BT-3 15 Amp Benchtop Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement) This saw is great for a bunch of things.
Ripping accurately is not one of them. See, the fence is designed very cheaply, and unlike the fence on a Ridgid or Bosch or Dewalt tablesaw, does not stay square to the table. In fact, it will happily clamp itself very misaligned (by about 3/8ths of an inch either way). In addition, the miter gauges on this saw are non-standard. Mostly because everything in this saw appears to have been sized metricly (the arbor lock nut, for example, is 24mm, the adjustment nuts are 10mm, etc). Most miter gauges are 3/8 by 3/4. The one on this saw is 10mm by 16mm. You will not be able to find any aftermarket miter gauges or jigs that will work in these slots. All this said, Jet's support is amazing. At first i figured the fence was just damaged in shipping. I called Jet, and they fedex'd me one without any questions (saturday delivery no less!). Sadly, the fence had the same problem (does not square...Read more |
