Hey James and Cyndi,

Very nice machine!

The one I have is a covington 6inch combo unit. The grit sizes I went with was 80g diamond wheel, 220g diamond wheel, 400g expandable drum, & felt pads on the end that I switch out using diamond pastes of 14,000g, 50,000g, & 100,000g.

Then my buddy bought a cab king that he graciously leaves at my house sweet.gif

This one we have 220g, 360g, 600g, 1,200g, 3,000g, & 8,000g.

for face polishing large agates we use a 10" covington vibrolap.

Someday I would love to get into faceting but daamn those machines are spendy. Rarely have I seen them for sale 'used' and when I do they still demand high dollar.. Oh well someday.
