[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 551694, member: 14320"] Thanks Wally and everyone else who liked the finished product. To be honest, I think that if I didnt get Dihuskys opinion, then assistance with the breakdown and sandblasting I probably wouldnt have it or Id still be sitting there trying to figure out how to separate all the main shaft pieces. :Y: :Y: The wheels are all about 6 inch with the 2 main diamond coated wheels being 260 and 600 grit. On the polishing wheel I took the guys advice from Gemcuts and glued on a cheap steel cutting wheel onto the alloy vertical wheel so that I could use the set of 4 magnetic nova disks (260,600,1200 and 3000) and polishing pad. The whole set up has been working great so far with the boulder opal and labradorite that Ive had a go at. It was a job definitely worth doing and Im hoping itll keep going long enough to pass onto my son one day. [/QUOTE]
