This a comple cover over the jet. Just put it over and use the jet as thickness sander. I made a cylinder out of aluminium which is not so soft as the original spindles.

If someone has also good jigs for the jet. Please do not wait and show them.
Nice, I have a Jet J BOSS spindle sander.can you give more details on your aluminum spindle?
@Roberfishes
I drilled a hole (16mm) through a aluminium cylinder and put this on the spindle screw. ( i have a little lathe to this).
The sanding paper is diagonally fixed on this spindle with some tape on the ends. Works great. The images shows my first test with a plastic cylinder.
