I picked up some equipment as I was traveling through Oregon the past couple of weeks and I thought I would offer them to you here before I post them on my website. This is a Coronet by Gem-Tec, (very similar to a pixie) all diamond wheels, uses a bubbler for a water feed. Adjustable speed. Some of the wheels have wear on them, but I cut a cab on it last weekend and they are still sufficient to put on a good polish. The wheels can be resurfaced for about $30 each when you decide it is time to do it, but these should still last for quite a while in my opinion. Has 2 hard wheels (100 and 220) and 4 soft wheels 400 600 1200 and 3000 with a felt buff on the right with Cerium Oxide (you can change this to whatever you want if you don't want the CO) I cut a cab on it last weekend and it put a good polish on a piece of Crazy Lace. The 100 wheel feels like it may have been replaced as it cuts quicker than I expected it to. I am a little heavy handed for this machine, a light touch makes it work better. $500 plus shipping. You guys get first shot at it. If no one wants it I will put it on my website next week for $600. Have a great day............Tony

Hello Tony, I have a question for you. You said the wheels can be resurfaced? Where can I get this done at?
