Replacing the drive wheel

1.Complete steps 1 through 6 in Replacing blades.

2.Remove the snap ring which secures the lower wheel to the gearbox output shaft.

3.Pull the wheel off of the gearbox output shaft using a suitable puller.

4.Inspection: Examine the wheel for damage on its drive edge, shoulder, or the shaft boss. Replace if any faults are found.

5.Reinstall the wheel by pressing and/or tapping it back onto the shaft using a soft-faced mallet.

6.Reinstall the snap ring which retains the wheel on the shaft.

7.Complete steps 7 through 14 of Replacing blades and any steps in Adjusting blade tracking, as needed to complete the installation.

Installing the vertical sawing table

1.Disconnect the saw from its electrical power source to prevent accidental motor start-ups.

2.Raise the saw to full vertical position and lock in position using the quick lock valve.

3.Remove the two flat head cap screws which hold the small cutting plate to the bearing seat.

4.Place the large vertical cutting plate in position and use the two flat head cap screws to attach it firmly to the bearing seat.

5.Reconnect the saw to electrical power and it is ready to use as a vertical band saw.

Replacing idler wheel or bearings

1.Complete steps 1 through 6 in Replacing blades.

2.Remove center bolt and washer from the idler wheel.

3.Remove the two bolts which hold the sliding plate draw block in the sliding plate and remove the wheel and draw block from the saw as an assembly.

4.Using a suitable puller or press, pull or press the wheel, complete with bearings, off of the draw block.

5.Using a suitable puller, remove the two bearings from inside the wheel hub.

6.Inspections: Inspect the bearings for evidence of leakage and turn them to feel for roughness or other internal flaws. Replace if leaking or roughness is felt.

Examine the wheel for damage on its drive edge, shoul- der, or the bearing mounting boss. Replace if any faults are found.

7.To install new bearings use a suitable press to press them in the center of the wheel until the races are flush with the shoulder inside the wheel hub. (See Figure 17.)

8.Press the bearing and wheel assembly onto the shaft of the sliding block.

9.Reinstall the washer and bolt which retain the wheel on the shaft.

10.Reinstall the draw block and wheel assembly to the saw arm using the bolts to secure it to the plate.

11.Complete steps 7 through 14 of Replacing blades and any steps in Adjusting blade tracking, as needed to complete the installation.

J-3410-2, J-3410 specifications

Jet Tools is renowned for its high-quality woodworking and metalworking equipment, and the J-3410 and J-3410-2 drill presses are prime examples of this commitment to excellence. These machines are engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency, appealing to both hobbyists and professional craftsmen.

The J-3410 features a robust 1 HP motor that provides ample power for a variety of drilling applications. This strength enables it to handle a wide range of materials, making it versatile enough for various projects. The machine operates at five different speeds, ranging from 600 to 3,100 RPM, allowing users to select the ideal speed for the specific material and drill bit size they are using. This versatility is crucial for achieving the desired results, whether it’s delicate woodwork or tougher metals.

One of the standout features of the J-3410 is its adjustable table, which can tilt up to 45 degrees, facilitating angled drilling. The table is constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring stability and reducing vibration, which is vital for precision work. Additionally, this model comes with a built-in laser guide that provides an accurate reference point for drilling, enhancing user efficiency and accuracy.

The J-3410-2 model builds upon the features of the J-3410, offering dual laser guides for even greater precision. These guides help users easily align the drill bit, ensuring that holes are drilled exactly where intended. The dual lasers also enhance visibility, especially in low-light environments. This model also includes a larger work table, allowing for drilling operations on bigger workpieces without compromising stability.

Both models are equipped with a heavy-duty, quick-adjust depth stop. This feature allows for consistency in repetitive drilling tasks, which is essential for users who need to achieve uniform results. They also feature an easy-to-use belt and pulley system for speed changes, ensuring that the transition between different speeds is effortless.

Safety is paramount in the design of the J-3410 and J-3410-2 press. A protective on/off switch prevents accidental start-ups, while the cast iron construction enhances overall stability and reduces the likelihood of accidents during operation.

The Jet Tools J-3410 and J-3410-2 combine power, precision, and safety, making them excellent choices for anyone in need of reliable drilling equipment. Whether for professional use or personal projects, these drill presses stand out in their class, showcasing Jet's commitment to quality and innovation.
