Thanks to both a triangular design frame for superior column rigidity, and a 19 x 19-inch precision ground cast iron table that tilts 10 degrees left and 45 degrees right for additional stability, the JWBS-18QT lets you tackle both smaller and large-scale projects with flexibility and control.
High Capacity and Quick Release Blade Tensioning for Convenience
The JWBS-18QT has a 12-1/4-inch resaw capacity for cutting large pieces of wood, slicing through veneers, and cutting book matched panels at a blade speed of 3,000 SPFM. And thanks to the quick release blade tensioning with two settings, you can better keep each job on-track. One setting releases cutting tension and a second release setting allows for fast and easy blade changes.
Finally, all cast iron handwheels make smooth, easy blade adjustments with less effort.
Dust Port and Computer Balanced Wheels for Precise Operation
By helping to prevent dust or debris from blocking your view of materials, the four-inch dust port can make your space cleaner and your work more productive. For added convenience, this port also lets you connect a dust collection system directly to it without the need for additional parts.
Finally, precision computer-balanced, eight-spoke wheels eliminate vibration for accurate blade tracking.
Independently Adjustable Ball Bearing Guide System
The JWBS-18QT offers time-saving features, including a tool-less, independently adjustable ball bearing guide system for quick and easy adjustments and smooth operation, and a single knob tracking adjustment to simplify the blade tracking process.
Blade Tracking Window and Dual Locking Doors for Safety
To help ensure on-the-job safety, a blade tracking window and light-colored tire provide a clear view of the blade during tracking, and dual locking cabinet doors allow quick access to the blade when necessary.
The JWBS-18QT measures 71 x 22 x 33 inches (HxWxD), weighs 410 pounds, and is backed 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.
