I have a Jet Pro 14” (with the riser built in) and in theory it can resaw 11” but the 1.25HP motor isn’t quite there. It also bogs down with big bowl blanks. I’d like to upgrade. Debating whether to sell or keep the 14”.
I’m hoping Jet runs their Father’s Day sale again this year. Anyone have experience with their 18”? I see they upgraded the frame recently to stiffen it up. I like the idea of tool less guide adjustments. I like the bigger table. I know Grizzly has similar machines but not with the 16” resaw like the Jet. And I don’t like how grizzly does the thrust bearing. I’m willing to pay a little more for the Jet.
I see Laguna has a similar 18” saw.
