That would be the price one would expect to pay for a plug and play unit with motor and switch out here in the NW, but it may be less common in your region. they are good solid units that are reasonably easy to work on.

Yes, I sold one just like it with the silicon carbide wheels last year for $550. The original paint and like new condition is unusual though.

I'd love to find one like that. Replace the wheels with diamond and a person would be able to do some serious cutting and use another machine for 600 grit up or batch the work and swap in 3 finer wheels.

Expanding drum with multiple belts works very well. Just cut multiple stones and change belt each step.

Expanding drum with multiple belts works very well. Just cut multiple stones and change belt each step. JohnJSGems,
I'd like your opinion ---I've got an 8" Raytech GemMaker and thinking about converting the left drum to an 80 grit diamond wheel, the 2 middle wheels to 220 and 280 Diamonds and leaving the right Drum for 600 Belts and up. Does that sound like a good idea or should I put wheels in the middle (4 if possible where the 2 wheels are now) and one where the right drum is. Going for a 6 wheel setup like the Genie but with a much sturdier machine). How many 8"x2" wheels do you believe will fit in the middle section? Thanks for your help and advice.
