[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 114042, member: 578"] Only used ultratec .. Ask rough2 cut... He has used many machines. New machines are expensive ( I know) . Dosnt matter how new it is . It still won't polish your gem faster , which is most of your time on the machine. So work out how much time you will use it . It dosnt stop there ... Laps /polish/dops/wax/glue/books/calipers/ loupe/ magnification/lighting....and then endless other things you keep finding out you need. Be carefull ... So fun/frustrating at the same time . Also a great way to invent new curse word phrases/ elongated rants . Have a go on the local lapidary clubs machine . They usually have a couple . Just saying ... But rewarding . I went in head on. Have two machines ( one old, one new)and only one arm working properly (mine , not the machines:)but both are getting use at the moment . Fun [/QUOTE]
