The JET 708675PK XACTA SAW Deluxe 3 HP, 1Ph, 50-Inch Rip Fence is a high-performance cabinet saw with a full range of high-end, innovative features. Featuring a quick-release riving knife and integrated arbor lock for safe, efficient operation, this powerful machine is one of the most accurate, most versatile, and smoothest-running cabinet saws currently on the market. It includes an enclosed cabinet with a built-in sealed storage drawer.Large Cast-Iron Table and Trunnion for Versatile, Vibration-Free Operation
The XACTA features a large, finely ground cast-iron table measuring 29 x 42 inches (with extensions) to provide plenty of work surface for large jobs, including 10 inches of clear table in front of the fully raised blade. Under the table you'll find a heavy-duty, wide-stance cast-iron trunnion mechanism--the heart of the saw's remarkable performance, stability, and nearly vibration-free operation.Conveniently Mounted Operating Mechanism for Easy Miter Slot Alignment
The XACTA's operating mechanism is conveniently mounted directly to the all-steel cabinet, which makes aligning the miter slot in the cast-iron table with the blade as easy as loosening four hex head cap screws, all of which are accessible from the outside.
Cast-Iron Handwheels for Precise Height Adjustments
Made using a pair of heavy, eight-inch diameter, cast-iron handwheels (with spinner handles) that operate machined worm gear drives, the 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 and precision-machined so that when they are applied there is no creep or change to that setting.
Left-Tilting Design for Safe, Burn-Free Bevel Cuts
The 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, ensuring safer, burn-free cuts.
Powerful 3 HP Motor and Poly V-Belt System for Smooth Operation
The XACTA comes equipped with a 3 HP motor (power rated based on continuous duty cycle) that's 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 to provide smooth operation, resistance to slipping, and very low heat generation. Additionally, a push-button arbor lock allows for rapid blade changes.
Exclusive 50-Inch Commercial Fence for Improved Accuracy and Performance
The XACTA comes with an exclusive 50-inch commercial Fence II with T-square design to enhance accuracy, performance, and safety. It uses high-end materials that are precisely welded to make a tough, accurate fence system. For instance, the T-square head has simple adjuster screws and an adjustable magnified cursor built right in, and the locking mechanism is made from powdered metal parts for extended durability.
Industrial On/Off Switch to Protect the Motor
Fully wired internally, the XACTA includes an industrial magnetic on/off switch to protect the motor from dangerous power fluctuations. It also prevents the saw from restarting unexpectedly after a power failure by requiring the operator to press the "on" button to restart the saw.
Safety Features to Enhance Efficiency
The XACTA also comes with a high-tech modular blade guard, anti-kickback pawl, and riving knife assembly to improve efficiency and help keep you safe in a wide range of situations. Additionally, like the riving knife, the dust shroud is mounted to the same cast-iron boss as the blade. That means it "follows" the blade through height and bevel changes to maintain maximum effectiveness.
Full-Featured Miter Gauge for Precision and Consistency
Finally, the JET Deluxe XACTA Saw comes with a full-featured miter gauge with a 17 3/4-inch long bar that follows the miter slot smoothly and accurately. A disc at the bar's leading end engages the T-shaped miter slots and prevents the miter gauge from lifting during a cut. For added convenience, the miter gauge fence can turn 60 degrees left or right, and it locks easily at any point, including at the adjustable presets of 90 and 45 degrees, with a twist of the handle.
The XACTA measures 36 x 38 x 85 inches, weighs 510 pounds, and is covered by a five-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.
