Hi members, can anybody tell me please who is the jet agent / importer for Australia. I am looking to get some parts for my vbs-18mw bandsaw but when google who is the agent nothing seems to come up. found a good site in America with all the parts listed and part names plus a blow up of parts but nothing for Australia. any help would be very much appreciated, need some one who does parts for jet machines, thanks in advance peter
I always thought it was Carbatec
thanks elanjacobs, yeah that's who I went to in Brisbane yrs ago but thought they gave them away, ok I will call them Monday but will look at there site now. cheers peter
went onto carbatech site into bandsaws only have there own branded models and a couple of powermatics, ?????? think I might send email to jet usa direct
Total tools stock some Jet machinery,
You good give them a call
Cheers Matt
Carbatec do have spares for some jet tools they used to sell but don’t anymore. If the part is not big and heavy, check out getting it from the US or UK, may be faster and cheaper.
thanks matt and Austin, I will call into total tools in Toowoomba on my way home and ask, looking for a new set of tyres for my 18 inch bandsaw and a couple of other things not urgent tho, will look and see if the rubber tyres are made here by some one. cheers peter

If you are looking to replace your band saw tyres, you may consider the Blue Carter Urethane units. Since I've changed over, my band saw hasn't missed a beat and it works every time all the time.
This is a thread I started a couple of years ago, the second page has some pictures of how I changed them.

I emailed Carter direct and received an answer unbelievably quick; so responsive and with good information.

Doing the current sums, it would seem that even with freight, you will be better off going direct; but that is your choice.

if it is a bandsaw, very few of the parts will be brand specific.
yes soundman I am learning that very quickly, it can be a bit confusing but getting there. thanks peter
thanks homey, these 2 sites were good, downloaded and printed out the manuel for my model. and now sorting out to buy the parts I need. cheers peter
