[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 469258, member: 10304"] I believe he does, but I'll be doing the servicing myself, he's making the new quill which has a collet style clamp not the side clamping screw which can easily throw a stone off a few thou. I have an engineering background and used to service stuff like dive equipment, so these machines are pretty straight forward, the tricky and time consuming part is doing the final alignment to within 1/10th of a Gnat's whisker ;) Got the Gemmasta Gem Grinder to do this winter as well, but that'll take a lot longer. Thanks for the :Y: on the stones :) [/QUOTE]
