Hello, dear friends! The subject of our conversation today will be Jet fittings. The name may not be the most popular and widespread among people who are not particularly interested in manufacturers of furniture components. But the products of this brand should arouse increased interest among Russians.
The thing is that Jet is a Russian brand of accessories, which is offered in a fairly wide range in the markets of the CIS countries and beyond. Currently, products of this brand are easy to find in almost any Russian city, be it Volgograd or Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg or Ufa, Moscow or Krasnodar.
But before you buy this hardware and use it in the process of assembling or making furniture, it’s worth finding out a little more about the manufacturer.
Band saw equipment
Band saw machines are used for cutting rolled metal - profile pipes, channels, I-beams, angles, beams. Based on their design features, they are divided into mechanisms with hydraulic loading, automatic machines, and manual ones.
Manual machines are sold much cheaper than their analogues, this is one of the undoubted advantages. In this equipment, the operator independently installs the workpiece in a vice and manipulates the units during operation.
A distinctive feature of such equipment is the presence of a support spring, which optimizes the lowering and raising of the frame.
Manual equipment is most suitable for carrying out small amounts of work. It has minimal dimensions and can operate from a household electrical network, which makes it possible to use these units in home workshops and garages.
The Jet manual machine is marked “J” in its name; the following types of equipment are produced:
- J-З51V;
- J-З50V;
- J-З49V;
- J-З50SV;
- J-З50CSV.
The models differ from each other in sawing diameter, which varies between 125-160 millimeters. It is worth noting that the sawing angle for each is standard and equal to 60 degrees.
The set with models that contain the SV mark includes a stand that ensures special stability of the structure. The J-350 CSC unit has a stand, which is equipped with special equipment for transferring the cooling liquid.
Jet MS-56СS
Equipment equipped with hydraulic loading (from the MBS series) has an additional hydraulic cylinder, where the base of the machine and its frame are connected. During the work process, the worker moves the frame to the desired position, secures the workpiece in a vice and activates the machine, after which the hydraulic cylinder frame slowly lowers the frame.
According to user reviews, the MBS-56CS model is rightfully considered a particularly popular Jet band saw machine with hydraulic loading. This is a fairly affordable unit, the cost of which ranges from 75-80 thousand rubles. The device has the following technical characteristics:
- working gauges of rolled metal: round profile - 125 mm,
- square profile - 125 by 125 mm, rectangular profile - 150 by 125 mm;
- processing zone size - 60 and 45 degrees;
- the speed of the web direction is 20−50 meters per minute.
A group of automatic machines can cut workpieces without the participation of a worker, who will only be required to squeeze the part in a vice once, after which its feeding and cutting will be performed automatically. In addition, the company's product range includes CNC-controlled machines (models VS-1318 FA and MVS-1012 CNC), the cost of which is 1.4 and 1.2 million rubles, respectively.
Phone app
In order for parents to gain access to their child's smart watch, they need to download a mobile application to their phone. It is available on Android and iOS platforms. Next, go through a simple registration procedure by pointing your smartphone camera at the back cover of the watch and indicating your login name, password, and child’s name.
Functionality:
- viewing the child’s location on the map;
- saving the history of children’s movements for later viewing;
- callback function to monitor the environment;
- establishing permitted boundaries for the child’s walks;
- notification about user movements;
- notification about removing the watch from your hand;
- setting up emergency calls;
- turning off the device remotely.
The program is available for downloading in the following stores: App Store for iPhone or Google Play for Android.
Turning
This type of machine from Jet comes in a wide range. There are both simple models on sale, easy to use at home, the cost of which does not exceed 50 thousand, and professional high-precision equipment, prices for which sometimes rise to 2.5 million rubles.
The diameter of the treated area ranges between 100 mm for elementary models (for example, BD-3) to 660 mm (lot of GH machines), with a power of 150-750 Watts. As users assure, the optimal model in terms of quality and price ratio is the BD-9G machine. This is a table-top type equipment that combines the capabilities of a screw-cutting and turning unit.
Jet BD-9G
BD-9G performance characteristics:
- spindle speed - in the range of 50 - 2500 rpm;
- power - 750 W;
- type of spindle cone - MTZ;
- maximum processing diameter - 200 mm;
- thread diameter zone - 0.3−3 mm.
This is an excellent choice for small-scale production or initial use. Under severe operating conditions and significant volumes of work, it makes sense to pay attention to the universal machines of the BP-SP series, which have a special approval level designated as DIN-8606.
Offered range
Now we can tell you a little about what exactly is offered on the domestic market under the Russian brand of Jet fittings, which in fact is produced in Southeast Asia.
The selection is truly impressive, and the catalogs on offer consist of:
- furniture hinges;
- lifting mechanisms;
- drawers;
- furniture hooks;

- accessories for office equipment;
- connecting fittings;
- dampers;
- cabinet fillings;
- fillings for dressing rooms;
- furniture handles;

You can clearly see that the choice is really large. The only question is whether the offered range will be able to satisfy your specific needs.
Milling equipment
Milling cutters in the starting price category are not included in Jet's price list. Prices for machines of this type start from 550 thousand rubles and stop at around 2.5 million rubles. One of the most modern machines currently produced under the label JTM-2036 PF came out of the production workshops of the enterprise.
JTM-2036PF
It has the following operational advantages:
- three-axis workpiece feed with smooth speed control;
- the presence of two spindles, and this significantly enhances the functional potential of the unit;
- regulation of the table position in the horizontal and vertical plane;

Jet JTM-2036PF
The power of the device is 3750 W, the rotation speed is from 40 to 2 thousand rpm. The area of the horizontal work table is 90 by 50 cm, the area of the vertical work table is 120 by 25 cm. The manufacturer provides a warranty for this unit for up to two years.
A little about the manufacturer
The Jet brand is often found online. Moreover, here we are talking not only about fittings, but also about various machines. The machines are not related to the Jet brand in question, since it is already an American brand with the same name.
Domestic Jet, which is focused on the production of fittings and furniture materials, including components for window systems and hinges for the kitchen, appeared in 2006.
In fact, the creators and owners of the Jet trademark are representatives of the Amethyst company. It was they who decided to create their own brand, under which they would supply and sell furniture components. Therefore, if you want to go to the official website and look through the catalog, then look for Amethyst.
But the fact of the existence of a domestic brand does not mean that the country of origin is also Russia. No. In order to save on production and increase profitability, production was organized in Southeast Asia.
Reading reviews and studying the assortment, I would like to note that quite high-quality products are sold under this brand. The Jet range includes an extensive list of offers, which we will look at a little later.
Being part of a Russian company, Asian-made Jet fittings are actively filling the domestic market. Yes, it can be argued that the same AK8 window system, like all other products, is not Russian at all. But now this is a relevant and profitable practice for all manufacturers. A very large number of accessories, equipment, cars from the most famous European, Japanese and American brands are actually made in China. There is only one reason. It's cheaper than setting up businesses in your home country.
Drilling
The list of wood drilling machines from Jet includes units of both professional and amateur level.
JDP-15
In the “economy” price category there is a JDP-15 machine, the value of which is 47 thousand rubles. The technical parameters of the model are as follows:
- power - 520 W;
- rotation speed - 210−2600 rpm;
- maximum drilling diameter size - 22 mm;
- the gap between the table and the spindle is 450 mm,
- spindle reach - 190 mm.
This equipment is designed for long-term operation under constant load conditions. According to user testimonies, this is the best machine in the price category up to 50 thousand, including competitors’ products.
GHD-27PF
For industrial use in large- and medium-scale production, the smart solution would be to choose the GHD-27PF model. This is a gear-type machine, the peculiarity of which is the presence of beveled teeth on the gears, which allows for minimal vibration and as low a noise level as possible.
- The power of the unit is 1.5 thousand W, maximum speed is 3200 rpm.
- The distance between the spindle and the table is 950 mm, the device is equipped with a cooling liquid supply system.
Reviews of smart watches from the jet brand
- From the reviews it is clear that there are often defects in models, so it is important to buy from reliable stores, as there are a large number of fakes.
- The light weight of the device is convenient for children.
- low battery capacity.
Sharpening equipment
The Jet company has manufactured and supplied to specialized markets 3 series of sharpening machines, divided into types:
- JBG (universal machines),
- JBG-A (industrial units),
- IBG (professional installations).
Devices of the JBG line are offered in the price category of 10-15 thousand, JBG-A - 30-40 thousand, IBG - above 80 thousand rubles.
There are 2 models in the JBG line - JBG-150 and JBG-200, differing in power of 260 and 370 W, respectively, and the size of the grinding disc - 150 and 200 mm, respectively.
The grinding wheel in both professional and amateur machines has a grain size of 36/60G.
Models for professional sharpening are distinguished by a more powerful, improved motor (up to 1500 W), as well as dust-proof bearings that have a longer service life, and the presence of a protective screen and an adjustable base in the delivery set.
