The smaller machines are great for cabbing and/or polishing small
flats or rounds on smaller rocks and gemstones such as opals,
phenomenal stones having stars or cats-eyes, and other stones of
belt buckle size or smaller. The bigger machines are excellent
for grinding and polishing larger flats on stone, glass, optics,
having diameters greater than 3" to 4" such as geodes, nodules,
bookends, petrified wood, etc. |
