Hi All
Just came into this machine and would like to know the brand if possible.
I would like to see if parts are available or at least buy a couple of extra dop sticks.
Also wonder if anybody has successfully added a speed controller to a machine like this. I am told it is not possible with the type of motor.
Thanks

Just popped this into the lapidary section for you Greybeard, we have some very knowledgable people here that should be able to give you the info you need.

Cheers

What happened with the machine ? Get it sorted?

Maybe this will work. I have tried to answer twice now but the posts disappear.

I purchased Gemmasta dops after the original owner thought it was an old Gemmasta. They fit so I suppose it is one.
Couldn't put a speed controller on it. Local electric works said it can't be done. My local electrician tried a ceiling fan speed controller and it worked sort of, but the motor was strained. Suppose I have to learn to work with one speed.

Have cut the pavillion of a stone on it but the girdle ran out. Could be me though. I cheated it and am about to do the prepolish.
