I haven't been cutting allot lately, life has been too busy. Been looking for more equipment (particularly after a slab saw and a vibe lap) for a while, but hard to come by with costing an arm or a leg, or driving half way across Australia to pick it up. So I bit the bullet and put an add on the net. Results for the weekend, now going to pull the add from the net, I have enough gear for a while. 3 tumblers 2 8" slab trim saws 6" grinder 8" grinder with diamond wheels 12" vibe lap inland dop station rocks 7 lbs of boulder opal Rhodonite Agate creek agate Topaz and lots more The equipment needs a little TLC, but the price was very good.

TLC comes pretty easy when you don't have a fortune tied in the tools up front. Nice basis for a home shop.

Nice assortment of some really good looking rock. Looks like you'll be cutting some really nice cabs in the future. The Koroit looks good. It's one of my favorites. Messy to cut but gorgeous results. Thanks for posting the pic!
