JET Deluxe XACTA Saw

Our 10” JET Deluxe XACTA Saw is a high­performance cabinet saw with a full range of high­end, innovative features. While designing the JET
Deluxe XACTA Saw, safety, ease of use,
performance and accuracy were primary goals. The
JET Deluxe XACTA Saw is available with 3 HP ­230V - 1Ph, 5 HP - 230V - 1 Ph or 5 HP - 230V - 3
Ph, all with 30” or 50” JET XACTA-FENCE II

Under the Table

The JET Deluxe XACTA Saw features a large, finely
ground 29” by 42” cast iron table (with extensions) that
provides plenty of work surface for the large jobs,
including 10” of clear table in front of the fully raised
blade. Under the table is our heavy duty, wide stance cast

iron trunnion mechanism which is the heart of the saws
remarkable performance, stability and nearly vibration-free
operation. Thus, making the JET Deluxe XACTA Saw one

of the most accurate, versatile and smoothest-running cabinet saws available.

The operating mechanism is mounted directly to the all-steel
cabinet. This makes aligning the miter slot in the cast iron table
with the blade as easy as loosening four hex head cap screws,
accessible from the outside under the table corners. Bump the
table into alignment and then retighten the screws. There is no
easier or more accurate way of making this crucial adjustment.
This alignment system is also extremely secure and requires
realignment much less frequently than most other designs. To
get you started, the table is aligned at the factory to very tight

tolerances and those specs along with other critical tolerances
are recorded on an inspection sheet that is included with each JET Deluxe XACTA Saw.

The blade height and bevel changes are made using a pair
of heavy, 8” diameter, cast iron handwheels (with spinner
handles) that operate precisely machined worm gear drives.
Bevel and blade height adjustments are precise, effortless
and designed to remain smooth after years of use. Even the

locking pins at the center of each handwheel are all steel

is no creep or change to that setting.

The JET Deluxe XACTA Saw is a left-tilt machine,
meaning the blade tilts away from the fence. When cutting
bevels this allows the scrap to fall freely onto the table and
prevents your work piece from becoming trapped between
the fence and the blade insuring safer, burn-free cuts. This
puts you in full control of the major piece, insuring the
finest possible cut quality.

The throat plate is 15 5/16”-long by 4 1/4”-wide and
provides plenty of access for changing blades and working
with our high-tech modular riving knife and blade guard
assembly. The standard throat plate insert included with the
JET Deluxe XACTA Saw is designed to function with an
1/8” kerf blade at all available angles with the riving knife
in place, enhancing safety and performance.

A sealed drawer reclaims the often-wasted space in the lower portion of the cabinet. This
drawer provides handy, clean storage for frequently used tools and accessories. We also
included storage hooks on the side of the cabinet for the miter gauge and rip fence when
they are not in use.

Power and Control

The 3HP motor (power rated based on continuous duty cycle) is rigidly mounted directly
to the under-table mechanism. Power is delivered to the blade through a pair of precisely
machined pulleys and a super-efficient Poly V-belt. The Poly-V Belt design is known for

smooth power delivery,
resistance to slipping and very
low heat generation because of its
thin cross section and high
surface area contact at the pulleys
as compared to common v-belt
designs.

The JET Deluxe XACTA Saw is
fully wired internally including
the industrial magnetic On/Off
switch. This style switch protects
the motor from dangerous power
fluctuations. It also prevents the

restarting unexpectedly should the power fail and then come back on. The operator must
press the On button again to restart the saw after power is restored.

The JET Deluxe XACTA Saw wiring terminates at a junction box on the rear of the
cabinet. That makes it easy to install the appropriate cord/plug combination for your
existing shop wiring or to hardwire it to a suitable power source and shut-off switch.

Full Arbor & Easy Blade Changing

The JET Deluxe XACTA Saw features a full-length
5/8”-diameter arbor designed to accept most stacked
dado blade sets at up to 13/16”-widths. The arbor is
supported on both sides of its cast iron mount by high­quality, sealed ball bearings to insure accurate, smooth,
and trouble-free operation for many years to come.
