JET 708480K JPS-30: 10-Inch ProShop Tablesaw 1-3/4-Horsepower 30-Inch Rip Fence with Steel Wings

This is a quality hybrid saw. The setup is straight forward and relatively simple although it does take two people because of the weight. Once setup, the saw required just a little adjustment for proper parallelism and accuracy of the blade and the fence.

Cuts are smooth and the saw has plenty of power for the home woodworker.

woodworking is what gets my mind off large complex computer systems. I have gone thru 3 saws. I could not have a bigger more professional saw becasue of space limitation so I settled for this after careful reviews.

3 - Legs Have hole in them which will reduce the dust collection effectiveness.
4 - The rubber shoes should be self leveling.
5 - No riving knife. too bad because jet will not have solution for current customers. By next year they have to have one. I am considering MicroJig splitter
6- The power cord could be a bit longer
7 - the insert should have been standard like other jet saws. it is unusual thickness.
8- The miter gauge is too cheap. I am going to replace it with a kreg miter gauge...Read more
