I just picked up a used JET table saw... and I have a couple questions which I'm sure are pretty simple... I just need some help. I was able to rewire it from 220 to 110... that seemed to go ok.
But when i bought the saw did have a blade and I can't figure out how to put the new one on. I see a nut that takes a 7/8 wrench but the shaft moves freely (obiviously) and I can't see a place to lock the shaft in place so I can loosen it or another nut to hold on to with a second wrench... please help me with that one
Also, the saw has a 30inch JET fence, but it doesn't lock very tight to the table, I'm still able to slide it a bit after it is locked... is there a way that I can tighten it up, or do i need to buy a new fence.
Also, when the saw is running the guard that covers the belt near the motor rattles and vibrates, not bad, but i think it shouldn't do that at all. Any ideas at improving this condition.
My final question which isn't really a problem... In the same next to my table (between the fence rails) i would like to build a little router table top. Is it as simple and attaching a piece on 3/4 MDF to the table or rails and dropping in a router plate? I couldn't find any really good plans when i searched the web.
Thanks for all your help to this newbie
