Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Voltage: 28-400: 120V/240V. JWBS-18SFX-3: 230 V.
  • Speed: 28-400: 1,620 and 3,340 RPM. JWBS-18SFX-3: 3100 FPM (15.7m/s).

Cited for one of the pair: only DELTA Machinery's cited pages give motor, phase, table size, included, dimensions, warranty and safety listing; only JET's cited pages give noise level. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the 28-400 and JWBS-18SFX-3 match there.
