Jet Table Saw Buyers Guide
Size And Extensions
After hours of independent Jet table saw reviews from our team members, there was one common feature that stood out, and that was the size. The size of the best Jet table saws impacted the power, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford to get a larger table saw due to space constraints.
Woodworkers have a solution. They can purchase a smaller tablesaw with extension wings, or at the very least, compatible ones. The size of your workspace will not be an issue if you have more.
Power
The power is the voltage and the horsepower of the table saw. Our experts recommend that you look for models with at least 2 to 3 HP. However, the best table saws for large projects may have 5 HP.
For corded electric models, Jet saw models usually have 115V or 120V, or even 230V. Your table saw’s power will increase the higher the voltage.
Blade Changing
We know the frustrations that come with changing a blade, especially when you are in the middle of a project. Jet units usually come with a standard carbide-tipped blade that fits the size of the saw, and while carbide blades are excellent for tearing through materials, you may want to change them out for a diamond one for more versatility and strength.
You need an easy and fast blade changing system to achieve this. What really helps with that, and is a component that all the models on our list feature, is the arbor lock. It’s as simple as pressing a button on one of the units.
(If you want to have the sharpest tool for your projects, we recommend these top-performing saw blade sharpening services in the US)
Fence
You definitely need a high-quality fence on your table saw. When you’re looking at cutting accuracy, the fence’s job is critical. You will definitely get a top-quality rip fence on any Jet device, so your consideration wont be for the quality but for the size. You can find rip fences in many sizes, so be sure to choose one that fits your needs.
Controls
How do you turn on the device? Table and cabinet saws may have an easy push power button and emergency stop, which are very important controls in case something goes wrong.
Dust Collection
Dust collector ports or systems are not only useful after the job is done, but also during it. Imagine if you could have this system integrated onto your table saw? Our experts say the efficiency and convenience is unmatched with an onboard dust collection system.
Not only will most of the dust and debris gather in one place, but it also helps to keep your line of vision free of any obstacles. Its much safer when you can see where the blade is going and cut precisely.
Another reason why our Jet table saw reviews are so positive is because all of their units feature a 10 cm dust gathering port.
There Is Less Vibration
Vibrations on your table saw will not only lead to shoddy craftsmanship, but it could also be dangerous during operation. It can also be distracting when you are cutting straight lines but everything is moving. This is why a table saw that has low vibration is a must.
Unfortunately, our experts say that all saws will vibrate to some degree, but whats beneficial about the Jet brand is that their saws have minimal vibrations and are excellent investments for this reason.
It is largely due to their upgraded motors and the poly-V belt drive system that some models have, which not only reduce vibration but also provides quiet performance.
Safety Features
Our woodworking engineers always suggest users don the appropriate safety gear such as goggles, but that doesnt mean your table saw cant provide you with any protection.
Some very important components that increase your level of safety when using the saw include a modular blade guard, emergency stops, CSA certification, a magnetic switch for power failure and overloads, and even riving knives and shrouded blades.
A table saw is generally easy and safe to operate, even for beginners, but our team members will always suggest looking for most if not all of these safety features because your well-being is the most important consideration.
Price And Warranty
There is no question that Jet table saw models are at the pricier end of the scale. We understand that these large investments are costly and buyers want to ensure they get great value. Jet saws will definitely cost you over 2000, but you may find the odd one or some deals that can dip below that range. For the pricier models, you may even reach close to 4000.
The price of the motor and how much wood it can handle are not the only factors that can affect the price. But the blade height and depth it can support can also have an impact on the price. Special bonus features such as onboard storage for your tools, and even a powder-coated finish or durable cast iron base can add to the price.
Jet understands the price of table saw units, so they offer a 5-year warranty.
