A well built saw. [Posted on 2003-01-28]
I bought this saw in December and have since been impressed with the quality. The fit and finish was perfect. The blade was parallel to the miter slot. I had to re-adjust other saws from the factory in the past. The Xacta fence is very well built.

Although this is not a true cabinet/arbor saw, you still get most of the benefits. With the enclosed cabinet, you get great dust control. It has the weight for stability, lots of table area, and a great fence system. It doesn't have the same horsepower, but also doesn't require a 230v connection. Unless you are going to cut very thick hardwood, you will never notice. There is a problem with the miter slot, as the tenoning jig will bind. It is easily taken care of by adding an additional washer that is not wider than the miter track between the T washer and the Jig. This will put the T track washer low enough in the track so as not to bind.

Perhaps my experience is an anomoly, but I had major trouble running this off a 20 amp, 120 volt circuit. I had to replace two shut off switches, and today the motor died.... I was happy with the other details, though the 30" fence is frustratingly small. My other complaint is that the phone reps, although initially responsive, blamed me for the failure of the saw. I've never had any other problems like this, and babied the thing... I'm replacing this with the unisaw...
Great Cabinet Saw [Posted on 2004-02-26]
I did not purchase this saw from Amazon. I bought it from Rockler for a price that was too incredible to pass up - especially when you add in the free mobile base and stool they gave me. The saw also had an upgraded fence. It went together easily. No gobs of grease to remove like Grizzly products. Lots of power to spare. HEAVY machine and solid, well finished castings. Much better deal than contractor saws. I gave this four stars for two reasons: It did not come with a saw blade and the right table board was not included on my saw. If not for that, I would give it 5 stars. Do yourself a favor and buy this saw.
Jet 10" 1-3/4 HP Cabinet Table Saw [Posted on 2004-03-17]
I recently purchsed this saw to help in my ongoing quest to control dust in my home / garage workshop. I use one side of my garage to park my car in and back it out for larger projects. This saw is what I have been looking for, all the weight, power, and mobility advantages of a contractor saw with the stability and dust control of a cabinet saw. I have a complete woodshop now, and most of my tools are mobile so I can easily expand into the parking space when necessary. Getting a cabinet saw that runs on standard house current fits all of my mobility needs. I sold my Jet Contractor saw to buy this saw, both are great saws, but this one is a step up! Most of my shop activity is making furniture using hardwoods and exotics. As with some of the other reviewers, my saw came with the micro adjustable fence and a free mobile base. I made my own extension table from wood and laminate that looks more like it was designed for the saw than the one Jet makes. No saw blade included? Most cabinet saws do not include the blade, as the specific use for the saw is not usually as clearly known as with contractor style saws. I also got this saw for a GREAT price! I can only see one improvement to make - but not an urgent one, I plan to replace both belts with link belts for an even better ride. If your needs resemble mine, this saw has all the power and performance that you will ever need in most home shops. I give it 100% of 5 stars!
