The Supersaw's heavy cast-iron table measures 21-1/4 by 27 inches. There's also a sliding table and an extra wing, which, when added to the main table, give a total work area of 1,127-1/4 inches. We have yet to see another saw in this price range that can match that. The sliding table offers better crosscutting accuracy than miter gauges and allows up to a 28-inch capacity. It's 14 by 27 inches and rides only 4 inches from the blade. Keeping this distance small reduces unnecessary friction caused by sliding the work. The sliding table also includes a heavy-duty miter fence with a large, easy-to-read scale, a cam-action lockdown, and large, comfortable handles. When you don't need the sliding table feature, it locks solidly in place.
Included with this new saw is JET's new Micro-Glide fence, which offers superb accuracy and reliability as well as a magnified cursor that makes fine-scale readings easy and a microadjustment feature that lets you dial the fence in to precisely where you need it without any clumsy tapping and bumping back and forth. The fence also has four built-in T-slots to accommodate jigs. Another cool idea is the power switch housing, which rides in a slot under the fence rail, allowing the user to decide where the switch should be located. The off switch is conveniently huge for easy shutdown in an emergency, and there's a power indicator light and a handy reset switch.
All this, and we still haven't mentioned the left-tilting blade, the smooth action of the hand wheels, the durability of the powder-coated finish, or the handy built-in padded storage racks on the side of the cabinet. There's even a cool new clear blade guard with independently moving sides so the blade is always visible and never exposed--even when bevel cutting. Considering this saw's innovations, JET's rock-solid engineering, and an unbeatable price, we think any small-shop woodworker would be wise to invest in the Supersaw. --Brian Trinen

I spent a lot of time researching this saw, as many people do, and am writing this because I never felt there was enough info out there. As an intro, I was upgrading this saw from the Dewalt portable table saw (744) which I used for a few years including through the construction of a rather large addition on our house. It was a good tool and I was always impressed by the performance of such a small saw. I cut lots of wood with that saw, including many full sheets of plywood and some hardwood. However, I wanted something more accurate and decided to upgrade.
I settled on wanting a hybrid saw pretty quick. I personally think the market will move in this direction. It was compact which is perfect for my small shop (garage) as well as 110v (even though I have 220v available). I also considered the contractor style, but it seemed they were actually larger when stored as the motor hangs off...Read more 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful:  Table Saw Heaven, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JET 708777K JWSS-10SPF Supersaw 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-3/4 Horsepower Intermediate Saw with 30-Inch Xacta Fence, Sliding Table, and 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Home Improvement) I recently clicked my way to table saw "almost heaven" on Amazon.com. My previous saw was a 10" Inca tilt table saw. Bottom line it for you? The Supersaw compares very favorably with the best Swiss technology. Sure, there are a couple of shortcomings (fence), but the all cast-iron construction gives quiet and smooth operation that has to be heard to be believed. Smoooooooth (except for the fence) The sliding table makes me smile each time I use it. It's relatively easy to setup with the shim kit provided. Easy, except for mounting it on the table all by yourself, wouldn't recommend that unless you're too excited to wait for a friend to come over and help.

I took a close look at it recently, and here are some observations:1. Rather than improve upon older Jet tablesaws by making the XActa fence micro-adjustable, Jet decided to create a new fence. The fence is a step backward--hard to adjust parallel to the blade, and not as rigid as the XActa. 2. The sliding table is excellent, although rather small. Operation is very smooth, but you'll have trouble using it on large panels (such as a 4x8 sheet of plywood). If you do a lot of crosscutting, and don't have sliding compound miter saw, this sliding table might be reason enough to take the plunge. 3. The motor is slightly more powerful than the contractor models, but not up to par with cabinet saws. A "super saw" should have a "super" motor--at least as an option. Overall, I'd say it's an acceptable copy of Dewalt's innovative saw. But I wouldn't buy one now--I'd wait a year and let others shake the bugs...Read more |
