This 8″ combination lapidary polisher/grinder unit has three stainless steel valves to provide independent water flow to each polishing wheel and the expandable drum. A submersible water pump provides flow to the brass petcock valves that control the cooling water recirculation. The one-piece cast aluminum tank and base has sealed bearings mounted to a 5/8″ stainless steel shaft. A 1/2 HP electric motor drives the shaft from a pulley belt. The end-polishing disc is ideal for final polish and buff using the Poly-Tex quick removable pads with on/off cement.
1/2 hp thermal protected 1,725 RPM ABB (Baldor) motor
