Ripping in 30-Minutes or Less

One of the worst things about large power tools is the assembly. Jet did it right when they manufactured this jobsite table saw which comes to your door almost fully assembled.

Safety Features Meet UL Standards

Jet incorporated numerous safety features to satisfy all UL standards. This includes the anti-kickback rawls and which users have noted minimal kickback which minimizes the risk for injuries. There’s also a riving knife which features European design quality which is above the industry average for a standard knife.

Other highlight features are the wheeled stand which is foldable and can easily be transported from place to place.

Another great quality is the 15-amp motor which gives off an soft-start which users state it’s much gentler than most.
