Features
Powered by a 1-1/2-horsepower, 1-phase motor, the Jet 708320 JWS-22CS has a two-speed, step-pulley drive with reverse spins at either 7,000 or 9,000 rpm for working with a variety of materials, as well as allowing you to select the best speed and torque for different cutter diameters. With interchangeable 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch spindles, you'll be able to use a greater range of cutters, and the 708320 also offers 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch router collets for using standard shank router bits.
The unit's fully enclosed heavy-duty steel stand keeps the motor clean and has a removable motor cover for easy maintenance. A 22-1/4-inch by 18-1/8-inch solid cast-iron table provides a durable work area. The left and right fences are independent and feature micro adjustment with no-clearance capabilities. And adjustable workpiece hold downs are mounted to the fence. A large hand wheel makes it easy to adjust the spindle up and down without having to step aside. Durable magnetic controls ensure safety in the shop. For quick and easy fence assemblies, the unit is equipped with unique ratcheting-style levers.
Other features include starting pins for irregular shaping, a forward/reverse switch for left- and right-hand operation, and a positive detent spindle lock for safer, easy cutter set-up. Additionally, a 4-inch dust port connects to your collection system to keep your workplace dust- and debris-free. It's backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
