Thst stuff is AWSOME man! That little double action vibratory lap and tumbler is kool as h***! Deffinatly an awsome find, I like that idea. I may try and craft one sometime. That top part is great for making specimen rocks with a good face to show the stone.
Was great to see your setup. I belong to a local lapidary society shop and we have a variety of equipment and skills. We have a annual membership fee and a per use fee.. you could probably get something in your area like that.
Grate question arotating flat lap you have to change grits quite often just like this but the differences between a vibrator and a rotator is the vibrary we'll let you do items that are much larger in size the rotating flat lap is generally confined to 6 to 12" di Bothe are absolutely wonderful tools to have But a vibrating flat lap will Polish an entire slab versus a rotating system that doesn't have the variable speed Little easier to hold on to and pressure is applied evenly from the way to the rock so it polishes even and it's set and forget
@@therockdad1 ahhhhh i see! ty for answering in depth! i kept lookin at the thing wondering, but given i dont work with large stuff that never occured to me! very cool solution to a larger problem haha
I’m very interested in this and wondering how the bottom portion Works? I wanna build one
That's an interesting setup.
It would be great to see the motor and how it works.

Wishing you well and a prosperous future.
Thank you. Were working on it
What did you use for the plate?
what is the benefit of this style over say a flat lap machine that rotates?
