Asked in another thread but started this one instead of a continuous highjacking.
I found a used UV-18 for sale used. Has the yellow striped bowl so not the rock bowl.
I know the bowl isn't heavy duty but is the motor? Will I get any longevity out of it if I swap the bowl for either a rock bowl or a uv-10 bowl?

Asked in another thread but started this one instead of a continuous highjacking. I found a used UV-18 for sale used. Has the yellow striped bowl so not the rock bowl. I know the bowl isn't heavy duty but is the motor? Will I get any longevity out of it if I swap the bowl for either a rock bowl or a uv-10 bowl? I have been using a UV-18 for the last 3-4 years. The bowl has the yellow stripe and is technically not a rock bowl. I have only used it for Polish runs. The Bowl is beginning to wear and will need to be replaced soon. Bought it used so no way of knowing how it was used before I bought it or how long it was used. It has polished a lot of rocks for me in the 3 to 4 years I have used it. In my case it's been a solid $100 investment. The questions for you, the answers to which you may never know; did it run rocks? how much has it been used?, and what stages were run in it? If it was for me and the price was a bargain, I would buy it. Mine is on it's 2nd motor. Good luck

Ok cool. It's $100 + shipping so not like I'd be out hundreds if it tanked.

Your deal wins hands down! I might get a box with something in it. If 600 lbs of some sweet rock was involved, I'd take the day off and go get it myself, lol.
