Hi All, I am new here, so 'Hello" to everybody. I need some help with my Jet JWTS-10JF Table Saw. I have had the saw a couple of years which I bought from the original purchaser. The problem is this; when I lower the blade all the way down so that it is below the throat plate the last 2" hard very hard to turn the lowering wheel. Raising the blade is no problem, lowering it down is OK until the last 2" or so. The lowering wheel is free, the retaining knob on the wheel is not tight. I have cleaned the worm and teeth as best as I can but this has made no difference. I do not want to take the saw to pieces if I really do not have to (not too sure how to do that), has anybody any idea's please? JET Technical Dept. in Tennessee were no help at all.
Thanks for any advice,
Ron in Woodstock
