Subject: Question for Jet JWTS-10JF Owners

I just purchased the JWTS-10JF.  Very nice saw especially considering the 
price (around $540-$20 rebate).  After finding a good location for it in my 
shop, I ran a 220V source and rewired the motor according to the instructions. 
 To my surprise, upon turning the saw on there was a noticeable jerk which was 
not (entirely) present when operating at 120V.  Everyone I've talked to, 
including Jet technical assistance, claimed the saw should run smoother on 220 
but that's not what I noticed.  The amount of jerk is dependent on where the 
saw stops (i.e. armature position).  Occasionally the start-up is very smooth. 
 Jet claims they've heard similar complaints but had no mention of a fix at 
hand.

I need to know if others have experienced a similar problem or am I seeing a 
defective motor here?

Thx,

My new Jet does the same thing. I'm pretty sure it has to do with a drive
belt that has developed a 'set' (really noticable when I turn the blade
manually - I can turn it 1/2 a rotation and it will swing back the other
direction because the set is so bad - watch those fingers!). I'm going to
buy one of those link belts to see if it gets rid of it.

I had the same experience. I replaced the standard belt with a link belt
and the jerk went away.
