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: JWBS-14SFX: 115/230 V. JWBS-18SFX: 115 V.
  • Speed: JWBS-14SFX: 15.24 m/s (3000 FPM). JWBS-18SFX: 3100 FPM (15.7m/s).

One-sided rows: only JET's cited pages give table height and cord length; only JET's cited pages give throat. A missing figure is not a zero, so the JWBS-14SFX and JWBS-18SFX cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
