Mcgiver strikes again! More and more people are improvising/building their own equipment as prices for equipment continue to rise. Looks like it works. I ran a cooler pump in an old drop saw I had. I wired it to the frame so it couldn't fall over and filled high enough to cover bottom couple of inches. Mine had two 1/8" copper tubings that fed the blades. They were constantly plugging up but pump worked well.

That is stinkn creative. Wish I had a genie, but I get along just fine with my Lortone combo and 2 wheel xpando sander. Less than 500 bucks. Later Clyde

No pump problems because the tub drain is about two inches above the bottom and the pump is always on top of the water in the bucket. The pump also supplies the water to the drill press. I read somewhere that if I put a plastic bag in the tub I can siphon off the water and just lift out the mud. I wish I would have learned that before the last two cleanings. I have to disassemble a lot of stuff to get the tub out to clean it.

Diamond pads work very good, don't they? I am using the same flexible pads for cabbing.
Very nice and simple machine.
