>What do you like about it

Solid cabinet saw. Good bies-clone fence as standard.
Price is good. Standard miter slots for miter gauges/tenoning jigs etc. Reasonably good splitter/blade guard.
Hooks on cabinet to store the tablesaw tools etc.
My cast iron top was pretty flat.

>What do you dislike

blade guard not dust collector friendly. Will need to modify it or buy a diff guard if you want good d/c up top.
Instructions not the best quality. The "engrish" translation is a bit dodgy.

>Would you buy it again ?

Definitely

>Can one person assemeble it or does it realistically need 2 ?

Probably 2 to unpack and 2 to get the base/motor into the position you want (heaviest part). The rest can be handled by 1 person. The top comes in 3 cast iron sections although you might need a 2nd person to hold the wings in place while you get the screws/nuts in place.

Fence is relatively easy to assemble as is splitter/guard etc.

>Anything else relevant.

Not much else. Mine is still going strong. No problems thus far.
It's a very good saw for the asking price.

Ditto for everything that Dean said. Love mine. I'd sleep with it, if I could get it upstairs and my wife would let me.

I put mine together by myself without too much trouble. I was able to slide it into position. The table extentions were a little tricky to do but I managed.

Ditto again but would add
Polished (ground rather than milled only) table top and a good sized surface area to work on.
Built in dust extraction port
Almost instant operating speed
Choice of positions for mounting switch
That blue colour sure looks good (mental note - beware of mentioning certain colours on this forum)
This is by far the best and most powerful table saw I have had.

Buy it again - you bet ya

I assembled it myself but had a bit of an accident getting it off the ute. Fortunately I was wearing thongs so the soft tissue on my foot saved any damage to the saw.

Thanks to all who responded.

If I get it, I'll have to put it on wheels. Any of you doing that?
I'd get a heavy duty mobile base.

Cheers
Craig

no mobile base here but as long as the base can support the weight then should be no problem

G'Day Craig.
I'm in much the same boat as you - not having made a purchase yet.

To all Craigs repliers:

Which model Jet would you consider to be an alternative / equiv to the TSC-10HB.

Thanks, Greg.

Greg,

I would say this one as it has the 3hp motor.

The 10FLR is also similar but only has the 2hp motor.
Also not sure if you can still get this model in Oz as it competes with the super saw

Craig

Thanks Craig.

I checked out the 10'' Jet Super Saw today - and it certainly appears to be a top quality item.

Still have not made a final decision, but the Jet is now at the top of the pile ! )

Regards, Greg.
