Big Iron, not heavy Iron, The Jet is 31"x80" of iron, 2240 sq inches of

all of it is iron.


The Jet standard table size is 31"x24"...the 80" is a result of a
"extension wing".


Correct and that extension wing is all CAST IRON.





My saw still weighs 200 lbs more with a "smaller" table ???


? What is your point, still talking large iron surface, see title of
thread.




Yes...the entire top of the Delta is cast iron.


Yes.... the entire surface of the Jet and extension is all cast iron.


How is the Jet bigger yet 200+ lbs lighter ?


Not over built where it does not need to be overbuilt.
