  • Nice solid product
Style: 8" All-U-Need
This machine is well made.....very solid. I like the different speeds that it has. It's definitely a quality piece of equipment. My only complaint is the drip tank. The knob to turn the water on or off is not exact.....meaning it's hard to tell when it's in the closed position. I think the overall design of the drip tank could have been improved.....and the plastic on/off knob should have been replaced by a brass/metal type valve. Other than this the machine works quite well. I've purchased other equipment from this company and their products are very high quality. ... show more

Just received super fast, set up was easy. Had some rocks already cut and taking them up to an amazing finish went quicker than I expected and my wife said they looked better than the ones on the rock shops! this is my first flat lap so nothing to compare it to but am super happy and also love it's made in the USA which is very important to me. ... show more

  • Excellent!
Style: 8" All-U-Need
Bought this as a Christmas present for my wife. We have cut and polished so many rocks since then. This thing is great! I would recommend buying an 80 grit disc for initial shaping to save a lot of time. Easy to use, good quality. Would buy again.

  • Overall fantastic
Style: 8" All-U-Need
I was excited about this design because the water runs down a tube, not out of the side like the other model. Two major flaws are the excess table which is an absolute nightmare to clean, and the splash guard. The splash guard is super flimsy and Iโ€™m using small clamps to keep it from tipping over with a full water well attached. Some way to actually attach it would be nice. The excess table that catches the water and excess that is ground off the rocks is a disaster of a design. But the machine works great and Iโ€™m able to prep for the upcoming rock show. ... show more

Everything seems to work great on it. Makes polishing a breeze. I would highly recommend upgrading the dripper system. Besides that I love the machine. Its a fun hobby

  • Donโ€™t buy without the foam pads!
Style: 8" All-U-Need
The first round of trying to shape these was roughโ€ฆ. Literally. I had so many flat spots. Getting the foam pads was a game changer. It made my cabs rounded and expedited the process. I found this out the hard way and had to remove each grit from the plastic base then put the foam pads on. If you are making rounded cabs donโ€™t buy this without the foam pads! Additionally, I bought a couple diamond grit wheels to shape them faster up front, then I use the pad included to get them smooth and shiny! ... show more
