Jet JWCS cabinet saw discontinued?
MajorWool | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Has this saw been replaced with their new DeWalt clone? It seemed like a good concept to me, 2HP, 2 belt, cabinet features, and I was seriously thinking of getting one with the 52″ fence and the router-lift (about $1300). Now all I see on their web page is the new butt-ugly JSSW model. I was not at all impressed with the Dewalt.

I think the JWCS10 was phased out when the 1.5 hp. "contractor/cabinet" crossbreed came out.
Your $1300 price tag is more than I paid for my 3 hp. Jet. I had the JWCS10 and just sold it last week. Overall, it was a pretty good machine, but when I started working with 8/4 hardwood it just didn't have enough power.
BTW, you may want to do some checking around on that router lift; I'm not sure but I think it has some design problems.
