Nice unit, the club got a new one when I helped move the shop about 15 years ago and it still works fine after a lot of club use (abuse). The people who run the Ameritool Co are also fantastic, it's the only plastic machine that gets all 5 stars from me.
Price is nice too

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

I have their little saw which I also like.

I was eyeing this machine several years ago before I saved up to get a cabber. I can say those diamond disks work well. I have the same ones for my old Inland flat lap machine. Good way for someone to get started polishing rocks and making cabs.👍

Bumping this as I decide. I really wanted one of these before I got my Cabking, and still think I could do some cool stuff with this. My unlimited OT ran out at work so my bonus money is tight right now, let's see if I can talk the CFO into this lol

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

Maybe nice to face polish some smaller slabs or end cuts for displays.

Picked up an unused Ameritool 4" trim saw in the same collection. I'll be posting it soon too.

I'll be sure to post what a work horse it's been.

Just out of the Christmas budget, but she did let me order a Rebel 17 tumbler. I really hope someone on here gets this machine.
