Lortone LU6X, combo unit.... older model I believe I have many questions as I know little about lapidary. It has a small trim saw and two vertical wheels. The large wheel is dual purpose... the side has a leather or leather-like pad for polishing, flap-lap style (except the leather disc/pad is vertical). The wheels are worn and may or may not need replacement. What kinda projects can I expect to tackle with this unit? Thanks. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM *Referral Code CE213*

I was able to go to the Lortone site and download a pdf LU6X Operation Manual and Parts List. There are two components missing from this setup, not sure how critical they are: 1. Hood to reduce saw spray ($43), 2. Vise assembly ($36) Ultimately, I'd like to run this setup indoors... is this a possibility? I'm sure that the hood would be an essential part for this. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
