JPS-10: 10" PROSHOP 1-3/4HP 30"- CW

The JET ProShop 10" Table Saw (#708482K) is the
result of combining key cabinet saw features with the
semi open leg structure of the venerable contractor­style table saw. While developing a unique set of
technologies to give the JET ProShop 10" Table Saw
wide-ranging capabilities was the goal, accuracy,
durability and ease of use remained at the top of the
priority list throughout the design process.

This new design also allowed simplifying the assembly
process considerably. With the motor installed within
the cabinet at the factory, the process of hanging the
motor on an external bracket and aligning it with the
arbor, common on contractor-style saws is eliminated completely. The extended
cabinet of the JET ProShop 10" Table Saw also replaces the open leg assembly
common contractor saws with four channel-shaped legs that are extremely rigid and
very easy to install. Four bolts secure each leg to the cabinet and need only to have
the leveling feet attached to get the JET ProShop 10" Table Saw upright and ready
for final assembly.

At the heart of the JET ProShop 10" Table Saw is the all-new operating mechanism
that locates the motor inside of the cabinet. This massive cast iron mechanism is
extraordinarily rigid and substantially increases the vibration dampening mass

The all-new ProShop mechanism (left) not only moves the motor inside of

the cabinet but also uses a heavy-duty swing arm (right) to locate the

arbor. This system drastically reduces vibration and makes blade height

changes smooth and precise.

5/8”-diameter arbor that is located in a short, super rigid cast iron arm. Blade height
adjustments are remarkably smooth in part because the blade arm is isolated from
the weight of the motor and undercarriage. The 5/8”-diameter arbor was designed
with sufficient length to handle most stacked 6” or 8”-diameter dado sets at a full
13/16” width.

The blade height and tilt mechanism provides maximum cut depths of 3 1/8” at 0­degrees and 2 1/8” at 45-degrees. The mechanism tilts the blade to the left, away
from the fence so the operator is controlling the major piece and the scrap falls onto
the table, away from the blade.

Blade changing on the JET ProShop 10" Table Saw is
easier than ever thanks to a pushbutton arbor lock
that is built into the table surface! A specially
shaped wrench is included that fits the blade­retaining nut and the nuts retaining the splitter
assembly.

While bringing the motor inside of the cabinet, we
moved the sometimes difficult to reach bevel stop
adjusters to the outside. Making these adjustments
is now a matter of inserting the included 4mm hex
wrench into sockets in the table surface to fine-tune
the 0-degree and 45-degree blade tilt stops.

The JET ProShop 10" Table Saw is powered by a 1 ¾ Hp TEFC (totally enclosed fan
cooled) motor that comes wired for 115V operation but can be converted to use
220V power. This high-power motor develops a stable 3600-rpm arbor speed,
optimum for cutting woods of all species. Designed for long-term maintenance-free
use, the motor has built-in thermal protection that shuts it down in the event of a
bind at the blade that could damage it. A user-accessible reset button on the motor
gets you get back to work after the problem is remedied and the motor has cooled
sufficiently.

Locating the motor fully within the cabinet (left) allowed us to add

effective dust collection in the form of a special cabinet floor and this

rear cover (right) featuring a molded in 4” hose connection.

The new fence system is built around a heavy gauge steel tube and T-square-style
base rather than an aluminum extrusion. A pair of 2 ½”-tall aluminum faces flank the
steel tube. In addition to providing a straight, smooth surface for guiding material,
the overall square shape of the fence makes building and using shop-built jigs easy.
We even added a slot along the top of the aluminum fence faces that accepts
common ¼ - 20 hex head bolts to make installing shop-made jigs fast, easy and
very secure. The T-square base has easy to use adjustments that make aligning the
fence parallel to the miter slots and its faces square to the table a fast, precise task
that is not often repeated.

Blade changing on the ProShop saw

requires the included blade wrench

and a single finger to depress the

arbor lock.

An additional benefit of
locating the motor
within the cabinet was
clearing the way for the
addition of an effective
dust collection system
to the JET ProShop 10"
Table Saw. The rear
dust cover (with an
integral 4” dust collector
hose connection) is
secured by four finger
knobs, making access to
the cabinet for
maintenance quick and
tool free.
