			YOU CAN CUT, shape and polish gemstones with speed and ease if you have the right tool for your particular job. Just as a hammer and saw are the basic tools of a carpenter, so are the grinding/polishing machine and rock saw the basic tools of the lapidary. After those, you can add specialty tools to your heart's content, depending on what you want to do. Start with the best you can afford, especially with your saw and grinding unit. As any wise buyer knows, price alone is not a guide to a good buy it's what you get for what you pay. You get real value for your money when you own one of our Gem Makers. We've designed them to give you lasting service, unusual convenience, and best of all, top performance to put real pleasure into your lapidary hobby or profession. OUR GEM-MAKERS ARE TOP PERFORMERS because of our diamond grinding and polishing wheels, the way they are made, and their special grit combination. They work fast and efficiently, giving you a beautiful polish on most stones in a matter of minutes. PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE. Grind your cabochon to shape on the 80 grit Galaxy metal-bond diamond grinding wheel, then proceed to the 220 grit Galaxy wheel to remove all deep scratches. Coarse sanding is done on the 280 grit Nova resin-bond diamond wheel. Spend enough time on this wheel to completely remove all scratches left by the grinding wheels, then proceed to the three Nova wheels on the right for final sanding and polishing. For those stones needing another step, we include a pad and diamond compound. WE MAKE IT SOUND EASY, AND IT IS, EVEN FOR BEGINNERS. Your first stone may take half an hour or longer, depending on size, material and your own skill, but with practice, you can do a 30 x 40mm agate cab from pre-form to finished stone in ten minutes on a Genie (old pros do it in less). Our machines have this capability because of the diamond wheels and the way they are built.

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
