Warning ! ! ! ! ! Beware ! ! ! ! ! [Posted on 2001-03-19]
Reviewer: R. Comeaux from Buford, Ga USA Was Dead ON. Xacta Fence is gernic add-on. Does not fit saw. Takes a great deal of reworking......:( and parts from local hardware. Jet should not sell this combo, until they get their shi@t together. Would not recommend this combo to a newbie. Directions start out by "DRILL OUT RAIL MOUNT THREADS ON CAST IRON TOP" Made me sick....

Great Saw - Even the fence. [Posted on 2001-03-22]
I purchased the Jet 10" contractor saw with the 30" Xacta fence in late February. Since I didn't have the space available for set up ready I spent some time reading the instructions and perusing the on-line reviews concerning assembly. Once the assembly process started everything went pretty much as expected.

The saw itself went together without a hitch. The stand was solid and the wings went on with a minimum of difficulty. Shimming was necessary to get a flat surface with the main table but that was done easily. Next came the infamous fence.

I studied the instructions and the comments I printed off the review sites. When I started the assembly there weren't any problems. The holes had to be drilled out but that was in the instructions. Here's a tip - install the right wing first then attach the rails. It works much better that way. When I laid out all of the bolts and assorted other hardware it became pretty obvious where the parts were to go. All of the bolt holes lined up and the the rails fit together without a problem. The only issue I had was with the mounting of the extension table. That was a challenge. Here's another hint - if you can't get the extension table smooth with the extension wings drill the holes in the table 5/16" and give your self a little space before tightening up the bolts/screws. The other thing was that the scale on the guide rail was mounted too far to the right necessitating a call to Jet for a replacement. They were great about it.

I installed a Forrest WWII TK in place of the blade that came with the saw. The fence was virtually perfect right out of the box. No problems. The saw runout and miter slot parallelism to the blade were exact. Even the 90 deg and 45 deg settings were accurate. Needless to say I've been very impressed. It cuts smooth and accurate. By the way I also ditched the Jet miter gauge for an Incra 2000 miter gauge. The saw and miter gauge make a great combination. I would recommend this in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, high quality saw.

looks like import that has been worked over for better or ? [Posted on 2001-03-24]
Nice but no cigar,fit and finish need to be improved,the fence is a wreck waiting to happen.Its like a cheap suit thats all over the place

Almost perfect... [Posted on 2001-12-04]
Got my JWTS10 last weekend. The saw runs great and the XACTA II fence system is extremely accurate and easy to use. I didn't have help, so unloading the saw from the back of my van involved tearing open the box and carrying all the pieces to my basement shop. Assembly took about 6 hours, and I am overjoyed with the quality of this saw.

One area that was lacking (at least for me since this is my first non-portable table saw) was the instructions on assembly of the rails and fence guide. They could have used better diagrams and part descriptions.

Overall an excellent saw for the money. I will probably trade out the accessory wood table for a router table.

Outstanding Value [Posted on 2002-04-26]
I've had this saw for several months and believe it to be an outstanding choice. The fit/finish is excellent and the accuracy is exceptional. Out of the box, the blade was parallel to the slots by a thousanth of an inch. I also have the fence parallel to the blade within 2 thousanths'. The only weaknesses are the xacta fence installation instructions and the free blade. It would be nice if the guard/splitter was quick attach/detach but I guess you can't have everything. You will also want to put a mobile base on this baby cause its heavy.
