Is Jet better than other mid price models? I notice they cost a little more

Once upon a time Jet was Taiwan manufacture. My Jet items are a big band saw and a
jointer. That is about 10 years ago, decent enough stuff.

Jet vs HF, I'd take a chance on Jet unless a bit of due diligence (googling your arse off)
comes up with something otherwise.

Ive worked on a fair amount of Jet machinery in the last 5-8 yrs..and
its pretty decent right out of the box. Most of course is Chinese..but
its a higher level than most. Not hugely better, but decent enough.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
