My name is Russell, I’m a rockhound! I live in Dallas Texas but I grew up in Tampa! I recently bought an older Hoghland Park B-12 2 motor cabinet combo unit! It was redone about 5 years ago! It’s a great machine, I’m about to use the saw for the first time today and I bought new bearings for the the grinding/ polishing side! If anyone knows about these units please message me I don’t want to mess anything up wile replacing the bearings!!! TIA!!! Look forward to many discussions! My ROC (Rock of Choice) lol is Black Opal followed by Boulder opal, (Australian mostly) but I work with a little bit of everything!!!

Hey Russell! Welcome to the forum from South Dakota! I will add Australian Boulder Opal is absolutely gorgeous...so it's not hard to see why it's your favorite!
