The following instructions are for installing the
XACTA Fence II and Rail System on JET Models
JWCS-10 and JWTS-10 series table saws.
Front Rail Installation
Referring to Figures 1:
1. With a 5/16” drill bit, drill out the two threaded
holes on the table front (C).
Note: By drilling out the threads you will gain
the needed room for adjustment of the front
rail.
Figure 1
2. Identify the front rail (A), which is 2” x 2” with
slots running along each side.
3. Align the slots on the front rail to the four holes
in the front edge of the saw table (Figure 1).
Referring to Figure 2:
4. Lightly secure the front rail to the saw table
and extension wings with four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2
hex cap screws, eight 1/4” flat washers, four
1/4” lock washers, and four 1/4” hex nuts.
Tighten just enough to hold the rail next to the
table but keep loose enough to allow height
adjustment.
Figure 2
The front rail must be 2-3/16" down from the table
top in order to function properly.
5. Place an adjustable square on the table as
shown in Figure 3.
6. Check the height of the front rail at several
locations along the surface of the saw table.
The front rail must be parallel with the table
top.
7. When the front rail has been correctly
positioned, tighten all mounting screws
securely with two 10mm wrenches.
Figure 3

Back Rail Installation
1. Locate the back rail which is 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"
with holes running along one side only. The
height of the back rail when attached to the
saw is not critical.
2. Align the holes in the back rail to the holes in
the table top, as shown in Figure 4.
3. Secure the back rail to the holes in the saw
table with four 1/4-20x 1-1/2 hex cap screws,
eight 1/4 flat washers, four 1/4 lock washers,
and four 1/4 hex nuts as shown in Figure 5.
Tighten screws securely with two 10mm
wrenches.
Figure 4
Note: If you are installing an optional wood
extension table on your saw, it should be installed
first before mounting the guide tube. This will
prevent having to mount and align the guide tube
twice.
If you are not mounting an optional wood table,
skip the following section and proceed to Guide
Tube section.
Wooden Extension Table
The wooden extension table is an optional
accessory.
Tools required
Electric drill
Figure 5
Cross point screwdriver
10mm open end wrenches
Four clamps
Straight edge
Hammer (or rubber mallet)
Installation
The optional wood extension table (including the
optional router table) sits flush against the saw
table and along the inside of the rails. The Warning
label on the router table should face outward. The
extension table is not bolted to the saw table; it is
bolted only to the rails.
The extension table and saw table must be aligned
properly so the XACTA Fence II will slide smoothly
from one to the other.
1. Place the extension table between the rails
and up against the saw table, leaving the
extension table raised just slightly above the
saw table.
Clamp the extension table to the front and
back rails as shown in Figure 6. Clamping
pressure should be enough to secure the table
yet allow minor adjustments.
Figure 6
2. Use a hammer and block of wood (or a rubber
mallet) to tap the extension table up flush
against the cast iron saw table (Figure 6).

3. Tap down the extension table at various points
along its edge where it meets the saw table,
until it is level with the saw table (Figure 7). As
one part of the edge becomes level with the
table, tighten the clamp on that side. Then
move to the other side and repeat, until the full
length of the edge is level with the saw table.
Lay a straight edge across both extension
table and saw table to ensure proper leveling.
When extension table is properly aligned, holes
need to be drilled into the wood table using the
holes in the rails as your guide (Figure 8).
Figure 7
Note: For the following step, you may wish to drill
3/32" pilot holes first.
4. Drill 1/4" holes into the front edge of the table
using the holes in the front rail as a guide.
Note: Drill through the center of the slots – this
will provide lateral adjustment of the rail if
needed later.
5. Drill 1/4" holes into the back edge of the table
using the holes in the back rail as a guide.
Figure 8
6. Referring to Figure 9: Install hex cap screws
(A), flat washers (B), lock washers (C) and
hex nuts (D) into the holes in the front and rear
edges of the extension table as shown.
Finger-tighten only.
7. Re-check the table for alignment, make further
adjustments if necessary, then tighten all
screws and nuts with two 10mm wrenches.
Figure 9
8. Mount the two legs to the inside corners of the
extension table as shown in Figure 10. Secure
with the eight screws provided with the legs.
Note: If you are using a mobile base under your
saw, you may need to shift the placement of the
legs so they rest properly upon the shelves of the
base.
9. Adjust
the
footpads
on
the
legs
counterclockwise until they reach the floor,
then tighten the nut.

Guide Tube
Referring to Figure 11:
The guide tube (A) is placed on top of the front rail
(B) and is mounted with the scale facing toward
the operator.
1. Align the holes in the bottom of the guide
tube (A) with the holes in the front rail (B).
2. Fasten the guide tube (A) to the rail (B) from
beneath with 1/4-20 x 3/4 hex cap screws (C),
1/4 lock washers (F) and 1/4 flat washers (G).
Finger-tighten only.
Figure 11
3. Measure from the guide tube to the table top in
several places, to ensure it is parallel with the
table top. Adjust as needed, and tighten all
screws. Adjust as needed, and tighten all
screws with a 10mm wrench.
XACTA Fence
Screw the lock lever knob into the threaded handle
on the XACTA Fence II as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12
The lock lever has three functional positions as
shown in Figure 13:
•
•
•
The upright position permits mounting and
removal of fence from the saw.
The unlock position permits easy fence
positioning.
The lower position locks the fence to the
front rail. The cam handle should be
pushed down firmly against the pin.

Leveling Fence to the Saw Table
1. Place the fence on the table and lock it.
2. View the fence from the left side of the saw
(Figure 14). Look for the space between the
table and the fence bottom to be equal along
the entire length of the fence (A, B, Fig. 14).
If adjustment is necessary:
3. Unlock the fence.
4. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the lock nut that
secures the foot adjustment (C, Fig. 14)
5. Rotate the foot, retracting it such that it does
not come in contact with the back rail (Fig. 14).
Figure 15
6. Raise or lower two nylon adjustment screws
(D, Fig. 15) the same number of turns until the
space between the bottom of the fence and the
table is the same. Care must be taken to raise
or lower the fence on each side equally or the
fence may not be 90° to the table after the
height adjustment is performed.
When the space at points A and B (Fig. 14) are the
same:
7. Extend the foot (C, Fig. 14) by rotating it until it
just comes in contact with the back rail.
8. Tighten the lock nut to secure the foot,
preventing it from further rotation.
Figure 16
Clamping Pressure Adjustment
Adjusting Fence Parallel to the Miter Slot
1. Place the fence next to the outside edge of the
right miter slot and lock it.
The XACTA Fence II has been adjusted at the
factory to lock securely when the lock handle is
pushed down. If adjustment is needed:
2. The fence should be even with the miter slot
from front to back.
1. Unlock the fence.
3. If the fence is not even along the length of the
miter slot, unlock the fence, remove it and turn
upside down (Figure 16).
2. Remove the fence from the guide rail.
3. Turn the fence over.
4. Adjust each of the two setscrews (E, Fig. 16)
exactly the same number of rotations until the
fence is held securely when the lock handle is
pushed down.
4. Adjust one of the two setscrews (E, Fig. 16)
until the fence is even with the miter slot edge
along its entire length when locked.
Note: You may need to re-adjust the clamping
pressure after aligning the fence.
A clockwise rotation of the setscrews will increase
the cam pressure. Counterclockwise rotation will
decrease cam pressure.

90° to the Table Adjustment
1. Place the fence on the saw table and lock it.
2. Place a square (A, Fig. 17) on the table next to
the fence. The fence should be 90° to the
table.
3. If adjustment is necessary, unlock the fence,
and turn one of the two nylon adjustment
screws (B, Fig. 17) until the fence is 90° to the
table.
4. Lock the fence and check the adjustment
again.
Cursor Adjustment
1. Disconnect the table saw from the power
source.
2. Raise the saw blade above the tabletop.
3. Unlock the fence and slide it to approximately
four inches from the saw blade.
4. Lock the fence.
5. Measure the distance between the saw blade
and the inside of the fence.
6. Adjust the cursor (C, Fig. 17) to read the
distance just measured and tighten the cursor
assembly to the fence.
7. Take a test cut and confirm that the adjustment
is correct.
Figure 17
Note: If the cursor does not have enough travel to
give the correct measurement loosen the guide rail
and adjust as needed. If you still do not get the
correct measurement loosen the front rail and
adjust as needed. If you have to adjust the front
rail you will need to go through the front rail
assembly instructions again.
