I finally got the most recent copy of SSWC, and I'm a little confused by their review of the Jet. Since they have repeated their comments on their website forum, I will go ahead and say that the issue they had was that it could not accommodate thicker stock. I got a Jet earlier this year (courtesy of a VERY generous mother-in-law), and I have not run into the issues that they had - once I got the top arm adjusted parallel to the table, I could fit a full two inches under the blade without problems. Just barely, but it did fit.
