You get what you pay for!
Ok, I was trying to save a little money. Lets be honest, how good of a saw with a 24" rip capacity can you buy for $ 220.00. The answer: not much! I'll give Jet 2 stars for trying. I'm keeping the other 3 stars to gradify my frustration. Heres my story. I get the saw set up with no real issues, keeping in mind that I saved about half of the money I would of spent on my next choose. I read the reviews about the fence and thought: I can deal with that. It couldn't be any worse than my old Makita. So I make sure that the blade is parallel to the fence and to the miter slots. I make my first test cut using the 36t blade supplied with the saw and the cut looks so bad that it would take 1/8" pass through the jointer to clean it up. Ok, recheck the fence and its ok. So I figure the blade is probably junk. So I start to take the blade off and notice that with a little moderate side pressure on the blade it will deflect as much as 1/8"!! Somethings gotta be loose, Right? So I turn the saw over and inspect all it's workings and I can't find anything loose. So I call Jet's tech. support and speak to a very nice gentleman who says, " Somthings gotta be loose". Back to the saw to take another look. As far as I can see The whole trunion assembly pivots on a rod attacthed to the bottom of the table. Where the rod goes throuh the flanges is enough slop to allow the whole assembly to move. You get what you pay for!

Can't believe the high ratings
There's a lesson here: Give careful consideration to low ratings.

This is a highly rated saw with a poor, toy miter gauge and fence, is out of alignment and throws dust and chips everwhere. Go figure.

Although a toy saw, it is quite capable of amputating your finger or hitting you with kickback. Novice beware.

The belt drive is fine, and I suppose the price is right.

Yes the price is right but wouldn't reccommend.
Even with a vac attached it is the messiest table saw I've ever used. It can scatter dust all over my shop. There is no zero clearence table insert. Buy a saw with a cast iron table top. Spend a little more and get a better saw...

Awesome table saw for the size and price
My dad knows all about saws and he said the most important thing about a table saw is to get one that is belt driven. This one is. Not many smaller table saws are. This is a huge plus.

One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I would get this saw again in a heartbeat. I have zero complaints. It cuts well, cuts straight, the fence is good (not as good as some on more expensive or larger table saws) for the size saw. It has large rubber feet to prevent slipping. It is easy to change blades. I used it to cut laminated flooring which is a very dense product. It cut it well and the blade lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. It's very portable.

I could go on and on, but won't. If you looking for a compact table saw look no further, buy this one.

Great Saw
I love this saw. It does some great work. Take the time to fine square the blade (instructions provided), and use a carpenters square to make sure the fence is square and you'll have no problems.
