Installing the coolant kit

1.Install the baffle in the tank so the pump is held at one end of the tank.

2.Put the tank and pump assembly in the flanges which hold it in the saw base. The pump should be at the saw motor end of the base.

3.Install the nozzle assembly in the fixture in the right- hand guide bearing bracket and secure it with the set screw in the fixture.

4.Install the delivery hose between the nipple on the pump and the nipple on the nozzle assembly.

5.Install the return line between the nipple on the table and the empty side of the tank.

6.Wire the pump motor to the pump switch according to the wiring diagram on the facing page. Female spade clips for the pump-to-switch connections are not supplied with the kit and must be sourced locally, by you.

7.Test the system by putting coolant in the tank and turning on the pump switch and motor switch.

8.The system is ready for use on the saw.

Chip brush replacement

The chip brush is a circular wire brush which is mounted in a bracket at the right-hand side of the saw arm. The purpose of the brush is to remove chips from the saw teeth and off of the blade so excessive amounts of chips don't get into the wheel guard section of the saw. The brush shaft spins in the bracket and the shaft is secured using a set screw and collar. With extended use this brush will be worn and require replacement.

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

2.Remove the set screw and collar from the brush shaft.

3.Remove the old brush and replace it with a new one.

4.Install the collar and set screw so the brush can spin freely in the bracket.

5.Adjust the bracket, if necessary, so the brush makes light contact with the saw blade.

Adjusting the horizontal stop and motor switch

The horizontal stop and motor switch are located on the front of the saw table at the left hand side. The horizontal stop is a rubber disc, mounted on a flat-headed screw. The screw height, and therefore the horizontal position of the saw arm, is adjusted using two nuts on the screw.

The motor switch is supposed to turn the motor off just before the arm contacts the horizontal stop. In this way a complete cut can be made and the blade can be automatically stopped before the arm is lifted to set up another cut.

Adjust the horizontal stop whenever the rubber disc is worn to the point where the stop requires replacement.

To replace or adjust the hori- zontal stop:

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

2.Raise the saw arm to its full up position.

3.Remove the lower nut which secures the horizontal stop screw to the saw and remove the horizontal stop assembly, complete.

4.Install the new horizontal stop and make the nuts which secure it finger tight.

5.Lower the saw arm to its horizontal position.

7.Adjust the horizontal stop height, using the upper and lower nuts, until the saw blade is below the level of the table surface and is fully into the blade relief slot on the table.

8.To be certain the blade has made enough downward travel to make a complete cut on the largest workpiece which fits in the saw:

8.1.Open the adjustable vise jaw to its widest position

8.2.Place a straight edge flat on the saw table and move it to where it contacts the blade.

8.3.The saw blade teeth should be below the saw table along the entire distance you can slide the straight edge. Adjust the horizontal stop until this condition is met.

9.Tighten the horizontal stop nuts securely.

10.Reestablish the electrical connection to the saw and proceed to adjust the motor switch actuator.

Adjusting the

motor switch actuator

1.Raise the arm until the switch actuator is not in contact with the switch.

2.Turn the switch ON.

3.Lower the arm until the arm contacts the horizontal stop. The motor switch should shut off the motor just before the arm contacts the horizontal stop.

4.If necessary, bend the switch actuator and re-test the system until the correct motor shut-off instant is obtained.

Jet Tools J-3410-2 Installing the coolant kit, Chip brush replacement, Adjusting the horizontal stop and motor switch

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.
