The following instructions are for installing the
XACTA Fence II and Rail System on JET Models
JTAS-10 and JTAS-12 series table saws. The
Rails should bolt up to the JET saw without any
drilling.
Figure 1
Front Rail Installation
Referring to Figures 1 and 2:
1. Identify the front rail (E), which is
2-1/2" x 2-1/2" with notches on one side and
countersunk mounting holes on the other side.
2. Lightly secure the front rail (E) to the table (G)
and extension wings (F) with four 1/4 x 1-1/2
flat head screws (A) four 1/4” flat washers (B),
four 1/4” lock washers (C) and four 1/4” hex
nuts (D). 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 9/16" down from the table
top in order to clear the miter gauge slot. This
measurement is critical.
3. Place an adjustable square on the table as
shown in Figure 3.
4. 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.
5. When the Front Rail has been correctly
positioned, tighten all mounting screws
securely with a #3 cross point screwdriver and
7/16" wrench.
Figure 3

Back Rail Installation
1. Locate the back rail which is 2" x 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.
Figure 4
3. Secure the back rail to the pre-tapped holes in
the saw table (B, C, Fig. 4) with two 5/16 x 3/4
hex cap screws and two 5/16 flat washers, as
shown in Figure 5. Tighten screws securely
with a 1/2" wrench.
Figure 5
4. Secure the back rail at A and D (in Figure 4) to
each extension wing with a 1/4 x 1-1/2 hex cap
screw, two 1/4” flat washers, a 1/4” lock
washer, and a 1/4” hex nut as shown in
Figure 6.
5. Tighten nuts.
Figure 6
Important: 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,
proceed to Guide Tube section.

Wooden Extension Table
The wooden extension table is an optional
accessory.
Tools required
Electric drill
Cross point screwdriver
7/16" and 1/2" wrenches
Four clamps
Straight edge
Hammer (or rubber mallet)
Figure 7
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 JET
logo (or 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 7.
Clamping pressure should be enough to
secure the table yet allow minor adjustments.
Figure 8
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 7).
Then 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 8). 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.
Figure 9
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 9). You may
wish to drill 3/32" pilot holes first.
3. Drill 1/4" holes into the front edge of the table
using the holes in the front rail as a guide. Drill
1/4" holes into the back edge of the table using
the holes in the back rail as a guide.
4. Install three 1/4 x 1-1/2 flat head screws, three
1/4 flat washers, and three 1/4 hex nuts into
the holes in the front edge of extension table
Figure 10

as shown in Figure 10. Finger tighten only.
5. Install three 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 hex cap screws,
three 1/4 flat washers, and three 1/4 nuts into
the holes in the rear edge of extension table as
shown in Figure 11. Finger-tighten only.
6. Re-check the table for alignment, make further
adjustments if necessary, then tighten all
screws and nuts.
Figure 11
7. Mount the two legs to the inside corners of the
extension table as shown in Figure 12. Secure
with the eight screws provided.
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.
8. Adjust
the
footpads
on
the
legs
counterclockwise until they reach the floor,
then tighten the nut.
Figure 12
Guide Tube
Referring to Figure 13:
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
with the holes in the front rail. When properly
positioned the guide tube should extend
beyond the front rail about 6" in both
directions.
2. Fasten the guide tube (A) to the rail (B) from
beneath, with seven 1/4-20 x 3/4 hex head
screws (B), seven 1/4" lock washers (F) and
seven 1/4" flat washers (G). Finger tighten
only.
Figure 13
3. Tighten all screws with a 7/16" wrench.

XACTA Fence
Screw the lock lever knob into the threaded handle
on the XACTA Fence II as shown in Figure 14.
The lock lever has three functional positions as
shown in Figure 15:
•
•
•
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.
Figure 14
Leveling Fence to the Saw Table
4. Place the fence on the table and lock it.
5. View the fence from the left side of the saw
(Figure 16). Look for the space between the
table and the fence bottom to be equal along
the entire length of the fence (A, B, Fig. 16).
Figure 15
If adjustment is necessary:
6. Unlock the fence.

8. Rotate the foot, retracting it such that it does
not come in contact with the back rail (Fig. 16).
Figure 16
9. Raise or lower two nylon adjustment screws
(D, Fig. 17) 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. 16) are the
same:
10. Extend the foot (C, Fig. 16) by rotating it until it
just comes in contact with the back rail.
11. Tighten the lock nut to secure the foot,
preventing it from further rotation.

Adjusting Fence Parallel to the Miter Slot
1. Place the fence next to the outside edge of the
right miter slot and lock it.
2. The fence should be even with the miter slot
from front to back.
3. If the fence is not even along the length of the
miter slot, unlock the fence, remove it and turn
upside down.
4. Adjust one of the two setscrews (A, Fig. 18)
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.
Clamping Pressure
The XACTA Fence II has been adjusted at the
factory to lock securely when the lock handle is
pushed down. If adjustment is needed:
Figure 18
1. Unlock the fence.
2. Remove the fence from the guide rail.
3. Turn the fence over.
4. Adjust each of the two setscrews (A, Fig. 18)
exactly the same number of rotations until the
fence is held securely when the lock handle is
pushed down.
90° to the Table
1. Place the fence on the saw table and lock it.
2. Place a square (A, Fig. 19) 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. 19) until the fence is 90° to the
table.
4. Lock the fence and check the adjustment
again.
Figure 19
Cursor Adjustment
1. Disconnect the table saw from the power
source.
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.
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.
This adjustment must be checked whenever a
different blade is installed.
6. Adjust the cursor (C, Fig. 19) to read the
distance just measured and tighten the cursor
assembly to the fence.
After installing the XACTA Fence II press the black
plastic end caps into the openings of the guide rail.
There is also an end cap for the fence, but this
should already be installed.
7. Take a test cut and confirm the adjustment is
correct.
