MOTOR/GRINDER COMPACT DESIGN -- NO BELT A. Special double shafted motor mounted vertical wheels are also available with water system added. It lacks a variable speed. B. A common bench grinder could be fitted with diamond wheels but the speed might be too high and the bearings may not be protected sufficiently for the stone grit it will be exposed to. I have never tried one. The compact design without belts can be an advantage (portable?) February 2011 Bill and Barb Tite Page 12
EXTRA LAPS 1. USED LAPIDARY EQUIPMENT GOOD ENOUGH A. Lortone is the traditional lower cost lapidary equipment supplier. Their machines develop vibrations with wear but as long as they turn the wheels they continue to work. In my experience it seems like every arbor ever sold is still working. I see little need to buy high $ new equipment. 2. CONTINUOUS FLOW THROUGH WATER SYSTEM A. My water system uses the home water supply with redundant valves to avoid flooding. The used water is drained into 5 gal. buckets which must be dumped occasionally. This avoids contamination. Many new machines use recirculating pumps. Obviously one must keep these machines clean between useage. February 2011 Bill and Barb Tite Page 13
