Thread: Under $1k table saw or 2nd hand?

The CI wing and better fence make it a better machine than the earlier one you posted but I agree $650 is too much especially as it is only a 2HP machine. Maybe $500?

How did you figure the 2HP motor? Label says 11/2 kw which means nothing to me, as it’s not a rating I’ve across in motors before. It’s nowhere an 11kw which I was thinking maybe 11kw/2pole motor

1 1/2 kw is equal to 2 HP. ( 1 HP=746 w )

So the 11/2kw refers to one and a half kws ? Lol. I was reading it as eleven/two kW and not making sense

What Bohdan said, also the model number suggests a 10" blade which comes with a 2HP motor, also motor current of 6.3A is typical of a 2HP motor

Yeah it all makes sense now when you read the 1 1/2kw properly

I don't think it is even a 3 pole switch, here is the exact replacement switch from H&F. Same number and two pole (4 screw) Although it does look like it could possibly have an extra set of contacts put in that housing I have seen that before

I think BobL meant 3P as 3 phase not 3 pole

I did mean 3 Phase but either way it doesn't matter.

I also have seen plenty of those with either 2 or 3 poles available.

If you look at the plug you will notice it only has three pins Active Neutral and earth. So it is single phase 240 volts

Hi guys, thanks for the advice and comments so far.

Looking at a Jet JWSS-10LFR. Anybody had experience with this particular model (LFR??)

My concerns are that another Jet model with nearly identical model numbers has bad reviews due to blade raising mechanism using a belt that snaps and is hard to get new? Also, what about lack of left side mitre slot??
Thanks

or this

or if the wiring permits, a no volt release switch

I just don't like how with the current switch, the OFF button is recessed into the switch, with the on button proud.
