I think you could make it fit, but you would have to put 6 piers under it. ;~)

I meant to refer to NEW big iron and the 80" cast iron top, then there is this at 2000 lbs.

That's so far out of reach for me it's not even funny. I have a $100 garage shop. Tools cost $100. (I splurged on the plainer. but it has paid for itself manby times over) Double car garage. (we have a storage shed for the garden toys) That's my so called shop. a small table saw, miter chop saw, small band saw, drill press, and 10 or 12 bags of hand tools sorted by type.
No. That's for a pro shop.
A saw like that, you build a shop around it.
And its' friends.

Don't know the cost but guessing it would be better to suck up to the Saw Stop and build large infeed and outfeed tables.

Buy online from Woodcraft, $4089.00, so, you need big iron to pry open your wallet, too.

The one in the picture is a left tilt. I'm wondering what part of the mechanism is in the left side bulge on the saw. Usually, a left tilt has a space for the moving trunnion on the right side.

Jet lists two dealers. One at $3600 and the second at $4000. And, that's without most of the accessories.

IIRC I saw it offered somewhere at $3999. You are probably right unless you need the extra capacity of the 12" blade.

The motor swings in that bulge, pretty typical actually. My Jet is the same and IIRC the Unisaws are/were too.

Ok, my thought processes are in contractor saw mode with the motor directly astern and swings up to the right when you do angled cuts. I was thinking cabinet saws had the motor directly beneath the blade, but I guess with the trunnion there, it would just as logical to have the motor left side of the blade.

Actually the majority of cabinet saws in the US have the motor situated just like a contractors saw except the motor is below the blade rather than behind the blade. The motor is also much closer t teh blade with much shorter belts. Additionally the motor is about 50% longer and 25% larger in diameter. When making 90 degree cuts the motor sticks out of the cabinet, when making 45 degree bevel cuts the motor is pretty much inside the cabinet.

Sort of "big iron"...
My 1966 Delta 34-450 12/14 comes in at 850lbs. My top is 38"x48".
Delta was making the big stuff in 1939, so Jet is a tad late in getting in the game.
It appears to be a carbon copy of the Delta machine, while the top size is smaller. I must admit the riving knife would appeal to me.
For the true "Big Iron", one needs to step up to
or one of my favorites that I will never own....
