Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

just want to share how i flattened the table top of my jet ts. the table top is attached to base having all sides not leveled to each other. this caused the iron top to flex downwards on the sides, front and back when the screws are tightened. i tried loosening them and attached leveling screws on each corner. you can see the difference when tightening the screws again, there is a big gap between the table top and base on some sides. you can shim it with washers. mine now is flat.

Hi Dsam, thanks for the advice. Sorry. Only read your reply just today.
I'll dismantle the thing. The thing I though about the top is that it's solid and won't flex, guess I am wrong

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

Hi Beebeenator, some key observations w/ TS in JETs, Craftsman and other direct drives, most have a 2hp universal or carbon brush type motor w/c i find under powered beyond 3" thick stock cuts whether ripping or crosscuts. Drive bushings and bearings as well as bearing mounts are the reasons why cuts wander. Blade is limited to thin kerf coz if you use thick blades, the motor suffers. i had to fashion industrial plastic shims or blade silencers to reduce vibration. You have to clean Motor and mounts religiously coz they clog pretty fast even with DC's in place. I guess crappy tools will really make good craftsmen out of us after all.

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

with these things in mind..i have discarded practically all of my crappy tools to friends.

but still another tool of best quality will end up in someone else's hand very soon.

its just a redundance to my shop though i hate to part with it.

but i am sure i will be more happy when the tool sees more action in someone else's wood shop.

guess what?

its my makita 3600 d handle router.

you are right timb...when you get a quality tool with the most features and ease of use...you cannot contain your satisfaction.

and simply cannot ask for more.

Hi DOC V, Makita 3600 is now a workhorse. I want you to know that I really am happy with it. So far it has given more than 14 hours of work daily since I got it.

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

Btw V, do you know of any local supplier of FESTOOL products? Have been searching in vane for them locally. I need to get their latest ROTEX 150. Maybe some of the guys know of a supplier who has them.

nice choice Willy, you sure know what you like...

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

Hi Sir Timber, Festool and Fein are some of the stuff i've been dreaming of since I first saw them from a balikbayan friend. Man are they expensive or what! Matched with great skills the possibilities are endless with these tools.

in that case this would be a nice add on to your arsenal...

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

Nice Sir Timb but I still want my hands on the Rotex 150 FEQ. Most of my work need the versatility of a dual sander. The power of this model at 700+ W is just awesome. I wanted to upload the image but seem to be having problems doing so.

@Willy

A Makita is a very good tool ..... specially New Old Stock Jap Made. 😉

no Makita would come close to the Rotex 150 Jay... 😮

Re: For sale, Jet jts-10 table saw

Yeah!!!!!! That's the one Sir Timb. HI JayL, most of my hardcore Japs are MAKITA. Bugbog talaga. I have tools that have been working since '87 buhay parin and nagtratrabaho pa. Cosmetics are a thing of the past but the powerhouses are still great. Move ako Thread later. Tnx guys.

Nagkagulo na Timb and thread. I was referring to V's router. 😮

None the less first time I'm hearing the Rotex 150 so might as well google it now.
