[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 386368, member: 2976"] Too bad about the flex-shaft not working when we needed it :P I've just twigged that I remember putting a different sized collet in the head - I don't think there's anything wrong with the machine, I think the collet that's in it is too big for the shaft of that polishing bob, I'll go and swap them over later and see if that's all the problem was. Pretty mind-blowing to see that dull, smooth-sanded metal can take on a polish so clear and bright that you can see your reflection in it clearly. We can do another next weekend if you like. I've had a big backlog of stones to facet, I hope to finish them off by the end of this coming week so should be free next weekend :Y: [/QUOTE]
