Why does my Jet JWBS-14OS make unsatisfactory cuts?

  Richard MorganAug 1, 2025
  Unsatisfactory cuts from your Jet Saw can stem from several issues. The blade may be dull, requiring replacement. Ensure the blade is mounted correctly with teeth facing the operator and pointing downward. Gum or pitch accumulation on the blade or table can also affect cut quality; clean the blade with oven cleaner or solvent and clean the table. Finally, verify you're using the correct blade type for the cut.

  Antonio GonzalezAug 8, 2025
  If the blade of your Jet Saw wanders during a cut, several factors could be responsible. First, check that the fence is aligned with the blade. Warped wood can also cause wandering, so select a different piece. An excessive feed rate might be the problem; try reducing it. Ensure you are using the correct blade for the type of cut and the blade tension is properly set according to blade size. Finally, make sure the guides are properly adjusted.

Why my Jet Saw does not make accurate 45 or 90 degree cuts?

  Jimmy ButlerAug 14, 2025
  If your Jet Saw isn't making accurate 45 or 90 degree cuts, the table stop might not be adjusted correctly. Check the blade with a square and adjust the table stop accordingly. Also, the angle pointer may not be set accurately; check it with a square and adjust. Lastly, the miter gauge could be out of adjustment; adjust the miter gauge to correct this.

  Excessive vibration in your Jet Saw can often be attributed to a base on an uneven floor. Reposition the saw on a flat, level surface. Another cause could be loose fasteners, so ensure you tighten all fasteners.

Why Jet JWBS-14OS Saw blade does not come up to speed?
- M
  Mrs. Erica HoAug 26, 2025
  If the blade of your Jet Saw does not come up to speed, it could be due to an extension cord that is too light or too long. Replace it with a cord of adequate size and length. Another potential cause is low shop voltage, in which case you should contact your local electric company.
