We think jet is slightly better because of the redesigned guard and protection. And for greater dust collection, there is a dust shroud around the blade. Very useful. The new Arbor lock helps change blades quickly as well. We couldn’t find anything that was missing from this saw. It’s very compact.

JET 708675PK Deluxe
don’t want to wear breath mask? this is for you. This table saw from Jet is an exquisite choice and is a 50” Rip Fence-style saw. It has a quick-release riving knife, so you can ensure there will be no binding or kickback (potentially very dangerous situations).
It also has several features to ensure stability, such as a left tilt (meaning the blade will tilt away from the fence), wide-stance trunnion, and a heavy cast iron body. It also has a Poly-V drive belt system, which is able to deliver a smooth and vibration-free cut that is also very low in heat generation, so you won’t need to worry about slipping or becoming uncomfortable from the overheating.
Size is a disadvantage here, as well as weight, and assembly can be advanced, so make sure you are adept at this kind of operation and have the means to support and move it.
SAWSTOP TGP236
This 10-inch table saw from SawStop is one of the most premium choices on the market. The fence and rail are made of heavy-gauge steel to withstand a lifetime of use. The trunnion and arbor are precise and will cut quietly with precision; dust-collection features will keep your table clear. A handy control box sits neatly on the left-hand side, which will control the on-off switch, as well as the power paddle.
Most remarkable about this saw is its SawStop-patented safety system. The SawStop table will send an electrical signal through the saw at all times, which the human body will actually absorb. This means that upon contact with any skin, a brake system will activate in less than five milliseconds, and detract the saw into the table.
So, the risk of injury is significantly reduced. The saw can trigger in other ways, but the brake system is easily replaced (within five minutes).
That’s it!
