I mentioned over the week end about the good deal I got on the Jet Cabinate saw http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=25542
and some asked me to post pics when I had it up and running so here it is.
First of all some comments on assembly.
The instruction manual (once I down loaded it from the Jet site) was better then average. It was very good at how to set up the saw, wings alignment, splitter alingment , adjustment of the fence and blade stops. It also reccomended haveing two people when you install the motor which would have been easier but I managed it by my self. I will say that the blade stop were dead on from the factory. The inspection sheet on the table states that the miter slot alignment to the blade is withing .005" and the arbor run out is .0008" so for my use it will do fine. The fence for being a standard fence apears to be very good.
I plan on a few inhancement in the future including.
1. Better blade
2. Mobile base (at 300 lbs it's a real bear to mive around my small shop)
3. Router table.
4. Zero Clearance insert
and I'll probubly change out the spliiter for a better one and add some board buddies.
I haven't hooked it up to a DC yet since I don't have one in this shop and that'll have to wait until I get the bigger shop.
The assmbly time took me about 6 hours. Oh by the way it passed the nickle test first time out.
Here are some pix.
