Jet - Cabinet Saw JTAS-10
Jet’s classic cabinet saw is available in a number of configurations.
Jun 01, 1999
This saw is an excellent buy at $1,400. The fit and finish are good and the tabletop and wings are slightly larger than many of the 10-in. saws. This model is available with either a left-tilting or right-tilting blade. We improved the accuracy of the fence’s cursor with some minor tweaking.
For a full review on this saw, read the June 1999 article from Fine Woodworking magazine, available on the Fine Woodworking Network.

DeWalt 735X Planer
At high speed, the planer works fast and leaves a smooth surface. But the slower, finish speed produces an almost glass-smooth surface. Knife changes are easy.
JessEm Mite-R Excel II Miter Gauge
The gauge has a quick and easy method for fitting the guide bar precisely to your tablesaw’s miter slot. This means the gauge can be recalibrated if necessary for continued accuracy. The face of the protractor head can be adjusted square to the table and also square to the guide bar. This ensures accurate cuts, and it, too, can be readjusted if the need arises. The protractor head has stainless-steel knobs and fittings and high-contrast, easy-to-read white numbers and increments.
Shop Fox W1826
The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.
