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 Box GHB-1340A Gear Head Bench Lathe, six-inch, three-jaw direct mount chuck with top reversing jaws, eight- inch four-jaw chuck, 12-inch face plate, center and headstock center sleeve, splash guard, metric change gear, threading dial, and tool box with tools.
