Jet - Midsize Tablesaw JWTS-10JF
Jet’s 1-1/2 hp contractor saw features the JETFence and a cast-iron table.The first big workshop purchase for most people is a tablesaw. Priced and sized between the large cabinet saws and small benchtop saws, a contractor-style saw is the logical choice for many. I surveyed several brands on the market, checking for flatness, runout, and whether the factory settings of the trunnions and motors were parallel to the miter-gauge slots in the tops. I also ripped and crosscut 8/4 white oak and hard maple to test the machines under load. All of the saws I tested performed well. The Jet was a good-quality machine with a reliable fence. There’s a lot of attention to detail, but the machine is more expensive than most of the other saws tested.
