The Jet 708663PK XACTASAW features a large, finely ground cast-iron table measuring 27 inches by 40 inches (with standard extension) to provide plenty of work surface for large jobs, including 10 inches of clear table in front of the fully raised blade. Under the table you'll find a heavy-duty, wide-stance cast-iron trunnion mechanism, which provides nearly vibration-free operation. Equipped with a 3-horsepower motor (power rated based on continuous duty cycle), power is delivered to the blade via three matched V-belts, which provide a slip-resistant smooth operation. A hinged motor cover on the cabinet gives quick access to the motor and belts, and it also offers a built-in, 4-inch port for dust collection.
The 708663PK saw is a left-tilt machine, meaning the blade tilts away from the fence. When cutting bevels, this allows the scrap to fall freely onto the table and prevents your work piece from becoming trapped between the fence and the blade, ensuring safer, burn-free cuts. Heavy-duty chrome-plated hand wheels contribute to smooth trunnion/arbor movement, and it includes a miter gauge with adjustable positive stops for accurate mitering.
This XACTASAW comes with an exclusive 50-inch commercial Fence II with T-square design to enhance accuracy, performance, and safety. It uses high-end materials that are precisely welded to make a tough, accurate fence system. Fully wired internally, it has rail-mounted magnetic switch that's easy to reach and provides overload protection. Additionally, a see-through blade guard with splitter and anti-kickback pawls helps protect you while giving a clear view of the material being cut.

That helped me narrow it downto 3. The Jet, Delta, and Powermatic. I also knew I wanted to get a left tilt saw because I see them as a little safer than the right tilts (when it comes to pushing stock against the fence on the right hand side).All the literature I read said good things about all 3 saws. Some people preferred on over the other, but in all the reviews I read, the one thing that everyone said was the the Jet was the best value, the only thing it didn't have in it's favor was the reputation of Delta and Powermatic (some people may over look the Jet because it's not made in the US, but from what I've read it's just as solid as and has a good design). All things being equal, Jet got my money because of the price, which allows me to buy some other things for my shop and something nice for the boss who agreed to let me buy it. Another selling point was the fact that Jet...Read more 69 of 69 people found the following review helpful: By Richard Gluck (Pleasanton, CA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: JET 708663PK JTAS-10XL50-W1 10-Inch Left Tilt 3-Horsepower 10-Inch Cabinet Saw with 50-Inch Xacta II Fence, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board, and Legs, 230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) Since I think most folks would consider this a major purchase decision for their shop, I opted to write this review only after I had a chance to really give it a workout. I have been using this saw in my shop for about 8 months and must say I have been extremely satisfied with its performance. I haven't needed to make any adjustments since the intial setup except for the table saw insert: small table vibration will change the screw heights so I recommend you put a drop of epoxy down to hold each of the alan screws in place. Assembly went fairly well with one hitch. There are seven bolts to mount for attaching the front guide rail that holds the rip fence. Only 6 of the 7 holes aligned correctly, so I have to admit I was cussing and swearing a bit when the 7th bolt wouldn't go in. I had to drill and tap a new hole (6 bolts are probably enough but I was determined to get that 7th one in), so I was mildly disappointed that Jet's manufacturing quality let that type...Read more 42 of 42 people found the following review helpful: By Ken Bean (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: JET 708663PK JTAS-10XL50-W1 10-Inch Left Tilt 3-Horsepower 10-Inch Cabinet Saw with 50-Inch Xacta II Fence, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board, and Legs, 230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I owned a Powermatic Model 66 for several years; we used it in our piano rebuilding shop, and then I sold it a few years ago. I did a lot of research before I bought the Jet. I wanted a left tilt saw like the Powermatic; I was just used to that set-up. The Powermatic was a very nice machine, but there are actually some things I prefer about the Jet. The Jet handwheels crank really smoothly and easily, and the trunnion gears mesh better, especially around 45 degree tilt, than the Powermatic's did. Set-up of the Jet took me a few evenings; I know that other people could have probably done it in less time, but I am a stickler for accuracy and wanted to make sure that all the tables were perfectly straight and flat after I assembled them. This took a little time with a straightedge, but was achievable with the cast iron table and extension wings; like the staff in Fine Woodworking, I was able to adjust them so I could not detect any deviation from the straightedge, even out to...Read more |
