Carba-Tec welcomes the JET Machinery range to our stores
THE JET ADVANTAGE
Carba-Tec® is thrilled to become the sole distributor of JET Machinery in Australia and New Zealand. JET is a tried and tested favorite of woodworkers everywhere and a market leader in quality and innovation. We are very excited to be able to represent a brand with such a proven track record and are committed to providing quality sales and support to our customers and the JET dealer network throughout the region.
JET tools offer a full range of machinery to suit every stage of your woodworking project, including sawing, planing, woodturning, sanding and dust collection. At Carba-Tec®, we are excited to be able to bring you some of the finest offerings available in woodworking machinery.
JET has come a long way since its inception in 1958. The JET Tool brand was first introduced in Seattle. In the early stages it mainly comprised of metal working machinery. In 1988 the JET Tool business was purchased by Walter Meier, a successful Swiss-based tool and air conditioning system manufacturer.
Walter Meier saw great potential in expanding the range of products into the woodworking field. They went on to develop JET into one the most recognisable brands of machinery for professional furniture makers and woodworking enthusiasts worldwide. When you browse through any of the vast array of woodworking publications both in print and online, JET machines feature prominently. It’s a name that is rightfully trusted to deliver a high level of performance and precision to the craftsperson at all levels.
Walter Meier have been committed to sourcing machines that reach the exacting standards required to wear the JET brand. They are very “hands on� when it comes to research and development of new products and they maintain a regional presence in Asia to oversee that the quality of manufacturing and finishing in all their tools is of the highest standard. JET machines are built and tested to the finest tolerances to ensure consistent quality throughout the range.
Professional Manuals
One of the Great advantages of JET machinery is the attention given to producing their manuals. They are written by engineers who have a complete understanding of the function of each machine. Each manual has a comprehensive parts breakdown and electrical drawings. The manuals are easy to understand and are aimed at people of all skill levels.
5 Year Warranty
To demonstrate the confidence they have in their company, JET Machinery is fully backed by a 5 year warranty and a wide range of spare parts.
The Jet Difference
There are several features that are exclusive to JET machinery. An example of this is the 'Sand Smart' technology that is featured on 22-44 and 22-440 SC model drum sanders. This technology is fitted to the variable speed motor that drives the conveyor belt. It monitors the number of amps the motor is drawing. Once it reaches a point where it detects the feed rate is too fast for the amount of material being removed, it will automatically reduce the feed rate to avoid excessive material removal. This is particular useful on uneven timber where the material being removed isn’t consistent. Anyone who has used a drum sander will know how inconvenient this can be and how easy it is to overload your machine.
JET machinery is built to last the distance, with solid cast iron tops and heavy bases that hold firm and reduce noise and vibration. The larger bandsaws all feature an exclusive triangular column design. This gives the entire machine extra rigidity when sawing large or heavy timber stock.
Whether you are a woodworking enthusiast spending your weekends making small projects for family and friends or a professional woodworker looking for an integrated workshop system, JET woodworking machinery will serve you well and deliver enjoyment, reliability and precision for years to come.
