Installation

Tools required

•

Phillips Screwdriver, or electric drill with

Phillips head driver.

•

7/16" and 3/8" wrenches, or socket wrenches will make assembly easier.

The JET cabinet can be used as an optional attachment to a router table or extension table on the JET table saws. It may also be used as a stand-alone router table.

The extension table must already be mounted before installing the cabinet. Consult your XACTA™ Fence manual for proper installation of the extension table.

Assembling the Cabinet

1.

Place the back panel onto the floor as shown in Figure 2. Note: You may need to place a cloth beneath it to protect the cabinet surface.

2.

Flip up all the tabs on the fasteners that are attached to each panel, see Figure 3.

3

3.

Attach a side panel in the position shown in

Figure 4. The fasteners in the edge of the back panel will slide into the holes in the side panel.

4.

Make sure the side panel is pushed all the way against the edge of the back panel, and push the fastener tabs all the way down.

Repeat for the other side panel.

5.

Mount the top panel, which has an opening.

6.

Attach the bottom panel and make sure all fastener tabs are pushed down on the cabinet assembly.

7.

Push the shaft of the leg into the base, see

Figure 5. Then screw the connector piece into the other end of the shaft. Finally, push the foot into the connector piece. Rotating the foot clockwise will decrease the height of the cabinet; counter-clockwise will increase the height.

8.

Turn the cabinet upside down and push the four mounting socket screws into the holes on the bottom panel, see Figure 6. The two holes on the right side of the cabinet must be used. Use of the holes on the other end is determined by the following:

•

If mounting the cabinet to a saw and upon a mobile base, use the two inner holes.

•

If using the cabinet as a stand-alone unit, use the two outer holes.

•

If mounting the cabinet to a saw without a mobile base, you may use either of the hole sets.

8.

Screw the legs on to the mounting socket screws until tight.

Installing the Cabinet to Extension Table

1.

Cut the 3/4" x 2” runners to length.

This measurement may vary depending on the extension table. Measure from the end rail to the mid rail and cut to length, (Fig. 7).

2.

Measure from the outer edge of the extension table’s side rails to 6-3/4” on the mid and end rails. This will be the center of the runners.

3.

Drill pilot holes in the end and mid rails so that the screws don’t split the wood. Attach the runners with eight #8 x 2” screws.

4.

Press hinges into the door, and use a rubber mallet to secure in place. Attach hinges to the side panel with four #8 x 3/4" screws.

Press the door handle into door, and mount through the sides with two #6 x 3/4" screws.

5.

Place the cabinet beneath the extension table and make sure that the door is flush with the outer edge of the end rail. The predrilled holes in the cabinet top should line up with the runners.

Make any needed adjustments.

6.

Adjust the legs so that the cabinet rests evenly on the floor and flush against the extension table. Note: If you are using the large shelf between the tablesaw and cabinet hold it in place and make sure you will have a snug fit. You do not want any gaps or the pre-drilled holes may not line up with the brackets.

7.

Mount the cabinet to the runners (A, Fig. 8) using six #8 x 2” screws.

8.

Insert the shelf holders into the cabinet and position the shelves to meet your needs.

Installing the Large Shelf

If you have an open stand tablesaw you cannot use the large shelf. The large shelf has a cutout on the bottom side to accommodate JET’s right tilt tablesaw dust port. The end with the cutout should be against the tablesaw cabinet facing down.

1.

Tape the template found on page 8 to the saw cabinet and follow the steps listed on the template. Note: If you have a right tilt saw remove the dust port and tape the template to the cabinet. The dust port can be installed after the holes have been drilled.

5

2.

After the four 7/32” holes have been drilled mount the two angle brackets (A, Fig. 9) to the saw cabinet using four 1/4-20 x 5/8” hex washer head self tapping screws (B, Fig. 9).

mount the angle bracket (A, Fig. 10) to the pre-drilled holes in the cabinet using two

1/4-20 x 1-1/2” round head machine screws, two 1/4" flat washers, two 1/4” lock washers and two 1/4” hex nuts, (B, Fig. 10).

3.

Mount the shelf to the three brackets with three 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” round head machine screws, three 1/4” flat washers, three 1/4” lock washers and three 1/4” hex nuts. The end with the cutout should be against the tablesaw cabinet facing down. Note: You may need to cut the length of the shelf to fit.

Follow the XACTA-Lift owner’s manual for installation instructions.

Stand Alone Router Cabinet

The cabinet can be used as a stand alone unit by mounting a wood router table to the top using the included runners and wood screws.
