Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.What's in the BoxOne sander assembly, one handwheel with handle, one TUF tool, one abrasive strip (wrapped on the drum), one conveyor belt (attached to the base), owner's manual, warranty card, one hardware bag (to attach the sander to the optional open stand) containing four 3/8-inch to 16 x 5/8-inch hex cap screws and four 3/8-inch flat washers.
