    jet versus rojek

    Hello all Johnny, the fence on the Jet now has a thicker extrusion and a machined face to it. If you'd like to see one in the flesh a ten minute drive away, I was in Kraftkabin yesterday in London Rd, Stoke and they have one in the showroom (still boxed, so check they have built it up before...

    Shows in Northern Ireland?

    Hi Jemmy, Ray Grahams in Newtownards usually have a show around November time - myself (Jet/Rojek) and many other suppliers attend - there's always good offers and suppliers are on hand to speak to. Linton & Robinson in Strabane is another similar show I went to last year - September/October...

    buying advice jet bobbin sander

    Hahaha - Cheers Speed for the 'heads up' - twenty four thousand pounds for a bench top sander was a bit excessive, agreed. It was part of our new marketing drive to emphasise the prestige and build quality of the 'Jet brand' - It's now back on at a more realistic nineteen thousand pounds...

    Jet parallel clamps ?

    I have looked into it, but sorry Jet clamps won't be available over here from ourselves. Reasons are due to the fact they are not available from Jet Europe, they are a Jet US product, and we could only buy in from the US (and have to ship from the US) in quantities that made no commercial...

    Jet parallel clamps ?

    Lark - it was probably the 'lol' at the end of the post that stopped us replying - anyone laughing about clamps needs help mate :wink: with a fairly high profile website, we get a few mentalists mailing us, and we really don't want to encourage anyone. :lol: ok - seriously - apologies we...

    Jet parallel clamps ?

    Hi John, at present we have no plans to bring these in via Jet Tools and Machinery. We have been asked before though about these (Hi Noel :) ) - I will re-visit them again and see, as I know they have had a good write up vs the competition - cost at the moment is the issue. How much would you...

    How best to set P/T knives?

    Hi Ivan, I can only echo what Paul0 has said above. If there is some 'dodgy grinding' on the table making the mount unsteady, then let us know and we will sort it out for you. I've just pm'd you my mobile number. Which machine do you have by the way? Is it 10" or 12" width? As you said...

    Abrasive Discs For Jet Combi Required

    thanks, and in fairness I noticed the individual codes for the discs don't show up on the website search for some reason? Maybe a technical thingy - i'll bang a mail down to let them know just in case - that may also explain why on the phone no-one could find them. glad it's sorted anyway -...

    P/T advice

    Hi tnimble - I'm happy to let others comment on that one, as in fairness I have used it at shows, but I don't have one I use day in/day out. It is a very similar action - ie. you just pull up or push down on the lever to get the required depth of cut. The one difference is that there is no...

    Unreasonable expectations??

    Hi Mark, I've had a call from them again this morning - seems I may have been a bit too hasty posting that last mail - :oops: - despite what the last mail said, they confirmed that they are currently working on the viability of machining the fence - although it hasn't actually gone into...

    Unreasonable expectations??

    Hello all, 'Power to the people' :D 8) I had an e-mail today from Jet's chief engineer saying that they are taking user feedback from this forum seriously, and are currently looking into various ways that the fence can possibly be improved. *Edit - sorry, original post now edited due to...

    Unreasonable expectations??

    Andy, of course feel free to look around at alternatives - I know what else is out there in this price bracket, and I genuinely believe the Jet is still the best value/quality for the money you will pay. It is a very good machine. I was honest in posting the info. here that came from...

    Unreasonable expectations??

    Hello Mark, and everyone else, apologies for the delay in replying back on here. I have discussed this with Jet’s chief engineer in Switzerland (He has read this thread through too). (It makes sense to me, but I know I’m probably about to spark a fresh round of debate :) ) Rather than try and...

    Unreasonable expectations??

    Hi Mark, Apologies you are having problems. There's not much I can do at this time of night, but I'll look into this tomorrow for you. I'm not aware of any other problems like this on the JPT310, but I accept that you do seem to have an issue. As you rightly pointed out, it is sold within a...

    Lamello Invisi Fixing kit

    Hi Orangetlh, I also thought it was very impressive and innovative - agreed. It won't be on the Lamello Uk site, as although we are Lamello agents, the invis system is sold through a seperate company in the UK - They can dedicate the time to this product, good to hear you had someone to show it...

    Timber - Lancashire ?

    Hi Scrums, if you can get a little further up, G&S Timber just off the M6 in Penrith could be well worth looking into. http://www.gs-specialist-timber.co.uk I have never bought off them, so can't comment on price I'm afraid - and they are also one of my accounts, but their timber...

    Jet JPT 310

    Hi Waka, the delivery on these was delayed and they have only just turned up. They are in the process of being sent out to the retailers this week. I doubt anyone has one yet - unless they have nicked one from Southampton docks without us knowing. PS - I think it's a good machine at a good...
