Jet table saw JTS-10MD

[hfdff]

I found this Jet table saw for sale on craigslist for $80. It looks in good condition. The seller says it doesn't come with the fence. I did web search I couldn't find much info on it. Was just wondering how old is this model, are their still parts available for it and if available would this be a good buy thx.

It'd be great if you could post a pic of it...

if yes, it was probably sold with a fence. since it's a jet, and i really don't think much of their tools, i'll refrain from my usual bashing. however, if it is a left tilt 10" contractor saw with no other problems, it woud be hard to pass up for $80. add a delta t-2 to it for $150 (or les soff CL) and it would probably be a serviceable saw.

It's pretty rusty and is an older model, but if it runs it's worth the $80 IMO. With some elbow grease you can get the rust off. Something like a Delta T2 fence costs ~$150. Is the saw with a nice fence worth $230? You might be able to find a replacement fence for less on Ebay or elsewhere. At worst, you could probably profit a little by selling the motor, wings, leg stand, and other small parts....no major loss if it runs.

Thanks for the responses. The table has already been sold.

consider yourself fortunate. good deals are sometimes like busses..you just have to wait a little while and another one comes along.

Just as well...it would have been a fair amount of work to get it up to snuff. Add the cost of fence to the value of your labor, and I think you would have had a decent saw that wasn't such a great deal as you had intended! There will be others!
