4" trim saw

4" Gem Trim Saw


$285.00

Rocks - 4" Gem Trim Saw

This is the "handy man" of little saws: will trim small slabs - will trim faceting material with a minimum if loss - will split opal - will nick baroques or small slabs for use with jump rings and epoxy adhesive, in place of bell caps and many other uses. The motor is strong enough to get the job done but still will stall if you use too much pressure (making for greater safety and longer blade life). Use with top table and cut past the arbor or remove the top table to cut thicker pieces. Can be used with oil or a water base coolant.

• Solid cast aluminum construction.
• attractive and durable powder coat finish.

Bull Wheel

Bull Wheel

$1995.00

Rock's - The Bull Wheel

The Bull Wheel is a time tested grinding machine that gets the job done fast. It can do in minutes what it takes hours for other machines to do. Ideal for slabs, nub ends, chunks, book ends, nodules halves, geode halves, shelf specimens, etc...   A Note about this machine and our lapidary shop - This is the machine we use to polish geodes, petrified wood specimens, and other flat cut rock specimens off of our saws.  We use a vibrating lap to remove the saw marks from the saw.  Then all we have to do  is a quick dry sand step on the bull wheel to bring up a nice smooth sanded gloss.  We then polish them on carpet on our vibrating lap.  A quick process that works great for us with a minimal amount of hand work.

Features:

• Complete unit with balanced wheels.
• Solid cast aluminum construction.
• Attractive durable powder coated finish.
• 4" x 12" diameter sanding wheel.
