Most portable benchtop table saws can be divided into two categories: 1.) inexpensive, flimsy models that are lightweight, but lack the power to do any serious cutting, or 2.) expensive, large-capacity saws that are too heavy to easily transport. Then there's the Jet Model 708315. This 10-inch benchtop saw has a 15 amp, 5,000 rpm motor that provides plenty of raw cutting power, yet it weighs just 62 pounds.
The saw has an ample 20- by 27-inch table with an extension wing that creates a cutting capacity of 24-1/2 inches. It cuts up to 3 inches deep with the blade set at 90 degrees, and up to 2-1/2 inches with it bevel-set at 45 degrees. Unlike most benchtop table saws in this price range, which have direct-drive motors, this Freud saw transfers power from the motor to the blade arbor via a poly V-belt; the result is a saw that runs much quieter and smoother.
The saw comes with a miter gauge, wing extension, rear outfeed support, and instructional booklet. -- Joseph Truini

Great Saw for Budget:
I was in the market for a portable 10" table saw that had the ability to rip up to 24 inches. I have used a Makita and Bosch portable table saws and I knew that Bosch was hard to beat but it cost alot more then I wanted to spend on a "job site" saw. I found this Jet here on Amazon and read the reviews...some great, some bad...I decided for the price and the features it offered I would give it a try and I am glad I did. While I still think the Bosch is a more accuate and faster table saw to use the Jet is... more info
You get what you pay for!:
Ok, I was trying to save a little money. Lets be honest, how good of a saw with a 24" rip capacity can you buy for $ 220.00. The answer: not much! I'll give Jet 2 stars for trying. I'm keeping the other 3 stars to gradify my frustration. Heres my story. I get the saw set up with no real issues, keeping in mind that I saved about half of the money I would of spent on my next choose. I read the reviews about the fence and thought: I can deal with that. It couldn't be any worse than my old Makita. So I make... more info
Can't believe the high ratings:
There's a lesson here: Give careful consideration to low ratings. This is a highly rated saw with a poor, toy miter gauge and fence, is out of alignment and throws dust and chips everwhere. Go figure. Although a toy saw, it is quite capable of amputating your finger or hitting you with kickback. Novice beware. The belt drive is fine, and I suppose the price is right.
Yes the price is right but wouldn't reccommend.:
Even with a vac attached it is the messiest table saw I've ever used. It can scatter dust all over my shop. There is no zero clearence table insert. Buy a saw with a cast iron table top. Spend a little more and get a better saw...
