I met this guy at the Sweethome, OR show. He is from close to Eugene Or. I saw his slab-grabber on the table and it was exactly what I wanted.

I have several that do 3" rocks, but I wanted one for 5" rocks. I have priced them at about $60. His was only $29, and he threw in a discount because I was a club Sweethome member. The thing is very well built.

Check out his web site:
www.sphereproducts.com/slabgrabber-sphereindexing.htm

The price on his diamond sphere machine seems about 2/3 the cost of Covington's. He will have a demo of it at the Salem show in mid-April.

I bought some of his diamond drills and core drills. I will report back on those.

I wouldn't mind buying one of his slab grabbers. Too bad I still don't live in Oregon. I worked in Eugene! Thanks Dan. Steve

He will be at the show in Salem if you need me to pick up, but I imaging he can mail as cheap as me.
