The Jet Table saws are top of the line. For months i could not decide between the g690 and this one. So I've had the new Jet in use for almost two months now. I can see why this make is considered the Cadillac of saws. The block isn't mentioned in the assembly instructions.

The truth is that the Grizzly Industrial G0690 was the Belt Driven Table Saws that we ranked at the top. Nevertheless, there were several other very high quality Belt Driven Table Saws worth showcasing here that only just missed first place.

Jet is yet another top producer of Table Saws. They make the tool next on our list. Jet's Table Saws are no exception. It was terrific to try the JTAS-1050XL-1DX. I was very pleased using this tool!

This Table Saw is just $2622.49. That is a fantastic deal for a premium Table Saw like the JTAS-1050XL-1DX by Jet. If you unsure about our number one choice, I'd look into the Jet JTAS-1050XL-1DX next. It's a premium quality tool at a good price.

Besides the selections we reviewed already, I would definitely check out the PM1000 by Powermatic and the JTAS-10XL30-1DX by Jet. Both Powermatic and Jet are considered a couple of the top makers of quality Table Saws. both of these two tools earned exceptional end user reviews as well. Customers gave the Powermatic an rating on average of 4.1/5 stars. Contrast that to the JTAS-10XL30-1DX that holds an average rating of 4.6/5 stars.

The PM1000 by Powermatic offers several truly choice features including Cabinet saw that only requires 115V power. The Jet JTAS-10XL30-1DX however, is tough to beat featuring Quick release riving knife greatly reduces binding/kickback risk and even Push button arbor lock (patent pending) for rapid blade change.

I would be eager to endorse either of these Belt Driven Table Saws

I also cut some 1/4in birch plywood and it worked great. I expected a Powermatic made tool for the premium price I paid. Ok, now for a slightly more in depth review. The major problem I had was assembling the saw on the stand. Easy assembly and little to no adjustments necessary.

Does Everything with ease and consistent accuracy. I expected a Jet made tool for the premium price I paid. My fence broke after less than 6 months. I love having 52 inches of capacity. Miter Gauge - The miter gauge is an absolute joke.

Accurate right out of the box with a great fit and finish. But overall I'm really pleased with this saw. For the money this is an outstanding value. So I always measure out and chalk anyway. Oak, maple, even had to cut some soaking wet Ponderosa pine.

It was really nice as well and hard to say which is better. It's durable plastic, but still plastic. Miter gauge has definitely been updated. I love having 52 inches of capacity. It pretty much laughed at anything I threw at it.
