Hummm , Has anyone got experience with the Jooltool ? They look like a 6 in lap at an angle and do advertise grits from 50 to 50,000 . Say can have see through as well as hard surface . Work dry as the say has vent slots on the lap which keep it cool . So a vacuums system is good , and they have a flex tool attachment too. Best the price is really right !
Any body got user info and experience?

NOT for stones. For sharpening knives and finsihing metal. If you cast rings and things, it is great. Has no way to cool stones. They would get extremly hot.

I went to the website that promotes and sells the tool and all the accessories for it.
In my opinion the only way to use that set up for stones would be the flex shaft mounted where you can get a drip system for the grinding/polishing when doing stones or glass.
It is pricey if you buy all that is needed to step through the cabbing process and no cheaper than the solid rubber mandrel mounted 2"/3" diamond discs sold for flex shaft use on Kingsly North.
That is what I started with in my bucket cabbing system with the Fordom flex shaft.

I looked that machine up on the web. I had never heard of it before.
Like to find one in a store to inspect it. Sharpening gizmo’s are my
thing.
I’m not sure how well it will cut mineral. But being tied in with 3M it as great potential. Plus, if it a great price and your at all crafty it will definitely be a cool tool. Anything that spins and is abrasive as rock solid value

Looks awfully expensive for a toy that may, or may not work rocks. Especially something that has to be run dry.

Dry grinding or sanding of rock is never a good idea IMO. Too limited and too hazardous.
