Conveniently Mounted Operating Mechanism for Easy Miter Slot Alignment
The XACTA's operating mechanism is conveniently mounted directly to the all-steel cabinet, which makes aligning the miter slot in the cast-iron table with the blade as easy as loosening four hex head cap screws, all of which are accessible from the outside.
Cast-Iron Handwheels for Precise Height Adjustments
Made using a pair of heavy, eight-inch diameter, cast-iron handwheels (with spinner handles) that operate machined worm gear drives, the bevel and blade height adjustments are precise, effortless, and designed to remain smooth after years of use. Even the locking pins at the center of each handwheel are all steel and precision-machined so that when they are applied there is no creep or change to that setting.
Left-Tilting Design for Safe, Burn-Free Bevel Cuts
The XACTA 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.
Powerful 3 HP Motor and Poly V-Belt System for Smooth Operation
The XACTA comes equipped with a 3 HP motor (power rated based on continuous duty cycle) that's rigidly mounted directly to the under-table mechanism. Power is delivered to the blade through a pair of precisely machined pulleys and a super-efficient poly V-belt to provide smooth operation, resistance to slipping, and very low heat generation. Additionally, a push-button arbor lock allows for rapid blade changes.
Exclusive 50-Inch Commercial Fence for Improved Accuracy and Performance
The XACTA 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. For instance, the T-square head has simple adjuster screws and an adjustable magnified cursor built right in, and the locking mechanism is made from powdered metal parts for extended durability.
Industrial On/Off Switch to Protect the Motor
Fully wired internally, the XACTA includes an industrial magnetic on/off switch to protect the motor from dangerous power fluctuations. It also prevents the saw from restarting unexpectedly after a power failure by requiring the operator to press the "on" button to restart the saw.
Safety Features to Enhance Efficiency
The XACTA also comes with a high-tech modular blade guard, anti-kickback pawl, and riving knife assembly to improve efficiency and help keep you safe in a wide range of situations. Additionally, like the riving knife, the dust shroud is mounted to the same cast-iron boss as the blade. That means it "follows" the blade through height and bevel changes to maintain maximum effectiveness.
Full-Featured Miter Gauge for Precision and Consistency
Finally, the JET Deluxe XACTA Saw comes with a full-featured miter gauge with a 17 3/4-inch long bar that follows the miter slot smoothly and accurately. A disc at the bar's leading end engages the T-shaped miter slots and prevents the miter gauge from lifting during a cut. For added convenience, the miter gauge fence can turn 60 degrees left or right, and it locks easily at any point, including at the adjustable presets of 90 and 45 degrees, with a twist of the handle.
The XACTA measures 36 x 38 x 85 inches, weighs 510 pounds, and is covered 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.

Jet has come a long way in that time! Fit and finish is superb. The table and extensions are flat, with the exception of a very minor concave bow in the edge of the melamine table. Surface grind is very fine - not a mirror finish, but very smooth. There is virtually no arbor runout, and the saw arrived aligned to the miter slots within a few 10 thousandths. Jet's fence (Xacta Fence II) has also improved over the years. It is heavier and smoother than on my old saw. The miter gauge is basic and unchanged. The blade guard is superb, literally the first usable guard I've ever owned or personally used - independently moving, very heavy plastic side leaves, see-through top, and even a swinging front plastic piece. The guard is as easy to take on and off as the Jet demo video shows, as is the riving knife. Dust collection is also superb, even more so with the guard...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: JET 708675PK XACTASAW Deluxe 3-Horsepower, 1Ph, 50-Inch Rip Fence (Tools & Home Improvement) The saw came in perfect condition. It took about 3 hours to put together.the instructions were very clear and the assembly was effortless.All factory set up was on the money and the only adjustment was the rifing knive to the blade. What a dream to use. From the first cut the saw works great. i built a four by 8 outfeed table and installed my router lift in the side table.What a pleasure to do wood working. Also the fence is very accurate. I am very pleased. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: JET 708675PK XACTASAW Deluxe 3-Horsepower, 1Ph, 50-Inch Rip Fence (Tools & Home Improvement) Great Saw! Very solid. Great fence. New guard design is great, easy to remove and reinstall. I have actually made every one of my cuts with a guard or at least the riving knife. Dust collection is good. Table is flat and nicely machined. I was debating between this saw and the PM2000, but I could not justify the price difference. I had a Bosch 4000 prior to this saw, the upgrade was well worth the cost. This machine is solid and very powerful. I recommend this saw for anyone in the market. |
