Why is my Jet J-3130 breaking teeth?
- A
  Amber JonesAug 20, 2025
  Breaking teeth on your Jet Saw can be caused by several factors. If the teeth are too coarse for the material, switch to a blade with a finer pitch. If the feed is too heavy, decrease the feed rate and observe chip formation to ensure efficient cutting. If the speed is too slow, increase the blade speed, referring to technical literature or supplier recommendations. Ensure the workpiece isn't vibrating by tightening the vise and supporting slender or long workpieces. If stacking pieces, ensure all are securely captured by the vise. If tooth gullets are loading, use a coarser blade or one with appropriate tooth geometry. Always allow the motor to reach full speed before starting the cut.

How to fix crooked cuts with my Jet J-3130?
- A
  Angelica GregoryAug 25, 2025
  Crooked cuts with your Jet Saw can result from a few issues. Ensure the workpiece is square by adjusting the right vise jaw to be at right angles to the blade, and clamp the work tightly. Check the blade for vertical alignment and adjust if needed. Position the guide bearings as close as possible to the work while still completing the cut. Also, inspect the guide bearings, seats, and brackets for any looseness or wear.

What causes blade twisting on my Jet J-3130 Saw?
- K
  Kevin SalazarAug 28, 2025
  Blade twisting on your Jet Saw can occur if the cut is binding the blade; ensure the workpiece is flat on the saw base and decrease feed pressure. If blade tension is too high, reduce it to just above the point where the blade slips. Check the eccentric jam nuts for tightness and inspect guide bearings for wear, replacing them if necessary. Ensure correct guide bearing adjustment. Tighten the bracket on the saw arm if it's loose, and also tighten the bearing seat attachment screw, adjusting bearing clearance.

  Dominique FrazierSep 1, 2025
  Rough cuts with your Jet Saw can be due to excessive feed or speed; try reducing the speed and observing chip formation for efficient cutting. If the blade is too coarse, switch to a finer blade, consulting suppliers for recommendations based on the material you're cutting. Ensure you are using the correct blade for the material. Consult blade suppliers for recommendations for exotic or unusual materials.

Why is there unusual wear on the side or back of my Jet Saw blade?
- K
  Kristin LopezSep 5, 2025
  Unusual wear on the side or back of your Jet Saw blade can be caused by worn blade guides, which should be replaced. Also, ensure the blade guide bearings are properly adjusted for correct clearance. If the blade guide bearing bracket is loose, tighten it to the saw arm. If the blade is running on the wheel flange, adjust blade tracking using the paper cutting method.

Why is the motor running too hot on my Jet J-3130?
- S
  Susan SantiagoSep 8, 2025
  A Jet Saw motor running too hot can be caused by excessive blade tension; decrease the blade tension to just above the slip point. Worn transmission and worm gears can also cause overheating, requiring replacement of the gears in the transmission gearbox. Additionally, check the gearbox and add oil as needed to ensure proper lubrication.
