Jet Pro Shop table saw question
Everyone,
I purchased a new Jet Pro Shop 10" hybrid table saw over a year ago. It has the fence system that came with it. I have had a hard time squaring everything up and cannot seem to get the accuracy I had hoped for.
I have been told that putting on an aftermarket fence is wasting money and that the Jet saw will never be as precise as a good cabinet saw.
Can you offer any advice that will help with these issues? I am really not in a position to purchase a new table saw at this time.
Thanks,
I think I have a good way to help. Yep me too.
I took delivery of one of these for my small garage shop last October. Due to some of those big dog life disasters I have used it little but did get it set up ok. I think you are being way too general. I'm not sure if there was more than one type of fence but lets assume your is the good kind. In order to know how to describe what is right we need to know what is wrong first. I can't locate my manual at the moment and I am suppost to be working on taxes. However I will check in occasionally over the next few days and go out and locate that sucker if I see you are hung up without an answer. It's like right there, I know it.
OK so start at the beginning. I was going to say it is probably checking the blade and miter slot to left of blade to see if the distance in front of blade and back are equal or rather if they are exactly parallel. There is one picture below us using the gauge for this. Confirm for us if they are exactly even or a little off. Only then turn the page for next step. If the blade isn't aligned with at least the one miter slot on the left you have to fix this before you move on. They tend to be adjusted up well per my reading of reviews, mine was fine. There are instuctions to adjust this blade alignment though.
Next I think is making sure the fence is aligned with that left miter slot and so on. Tell us where you get stopped and wisdom will rain down on you. Check the rails before you start working on the fence.
Good luck,
