Well in the mass of goodies I purchased with my last estate - I picked up two Model B 3# Gy-Roc vibe's. I've never used any vibe before.... Are these machines good for all grits? I would suspect not as most I ever knew was polish only in them? One needs to be fixed up with a new lid and a barrel hold down... then it might find a new home. I might keep the other one and use it though. What are the steps for one of these bad-boys? I have pounds of Oregon Sunstone which this would work well for.

Any pointers would be awesome!

I had the model A before and loved it. Used it for all stages except the rough grind. I just filled it with small ceramic beads and grit then added rocks. Works fast. I'm looking to step up to the model C as soon as I can put the cash together.

Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
