FIRST, ALL SIX WHEELS ARE MOUNTED AT ONCE on the three larger machines so you can proceed from one step to the next during the entire grinding and polishing operation. This is important when you consider time. Even the BigFoot has easy wheel change. Wheels are easily removed on the Titan and Genie and BigFoot so that special carving or other wheels can be installed. Using extra adaptors to mount your special wheels on the Genie and BigFoot makes the change from one set of wheels to another even easier.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GEM MAKERS IS THE SPRA-MIST COOLANT SYSTEM. Basically, it's an air pump that operates geysers to supply a fine water spray to the underside of the wheels. This means a trouble-free pump (because it pumps air, not water and can't become clogged) and no special plumbing. Pour a little water in the pan and go to work. Best of all, you have a grinding and polishing machine so clean you can use it in your kitchen or den without making a lot of mess. You can enjoy your hobby in your house during winter when it's too cold outside in the garage.
YOU CAN GRIND AND POLISH SMALL FLATS ON ALL FOUR OF THE GEM MAKERS, eliminating the need for a special flat lap machine for this purpose. And now you can enjoy the speed and efficiency of polishing flats on our Magnetic Novas. All three of the larger machines will accept a steel back-up plate attached to the right hand wheel adaptor. This allows Magnetic Novas to be quickly applied, used, and removed as you proceed through the sanding and polishing sequence. The Genie and Titan have special lap connectors on the left hand side of the machine for accepting standard flat lap and discs. Shown below is the Titan with a lap attached to left hand side. All four machines accept attachments with a 1/4"-20 thread bolt on the right hand side. You can use "No-Hole" diamond laps, our Nova sanding and polishing discs, canvas and leather pads, and similar attachments.
THE GEM-MAKERS ARE ALL VERSATILE AND EASY TO USE. BigFoot and the Genie both have trim saw attachments. All four machines can be converted to use buffing wheels for polishing metals. (Shown above are two buffing wheels on the Genie.) A lamp comes with each machine and magnifiers are available. BigFoot is especially compact with storage for parts and accessories.
OUR MACHINES GIVE YOU VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. We start with a motor big enough for the job and the best we can buy, whatever the machine size. Every other part of the unit is the best for its particular function at a cost that allows the machine to be as reasonably priced as we can manage. We use a lot of plastic because it's lightweight and in most cases, even better than metal. We don't skimp anywhere, especially in our wheels
