I just finished assembling a Jet JPS-10 Pro shop 30” Table Saw with cast iron wings and riving knife for the showroom. As someone who has assembled his fair share of tools, this one was quite special. All the pieces arrived in perfect condition. The fit and finish was truly beautiful. The parts went together like they were supposed to and they were all there.
I put it on a Jet Universal Mobile base and even it was easy to assemble. The cast iron wings are quite heavy and for an old man, I needed help so I grabbed a Fastcap Upper hand along with a 4x6 to hold the wing up while I put the screws in. The only other concern was the saw comes upside down so you can install the legs. Once again an old man all along tuning it right side up is no easy task. Fortunately my high stacker allowed me to raise the saw up, and then tilt it up on all fours. I strongly suggest you get someone to help you stand it up!
The fence was easy to install and required no adjustments right out of the box, though I did go through aliment. The blade guard and riving knife were pre-assembled and easy to install, easy to remove, or change as needed. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.
This is one of the best tools I have ever assembled.
