You can get a full lapidary machine with 6 wheels for $859 on ebay. If you are going to spend $590 on parts (not including the sand paper, water system,tax and the time/energy to build) you might as well just buy the 6 wheel (much better than two wheels)professional grinder/polisher for practically the same price plus time saved.
Good job on the build anyway.
Thank you for watching. There are times the buoght Lapidary machines will now be able to be used to polish bigger stones. I have both. Keep on Rocking.
I am in the process of making a device like this, a machine that was marketed as Rock's Bull Wheel. Covington has their version with a 1 inch shaft and 1and a half HP motor. Designed for commercial use for removing the material fast. To save money I will run mine off my rock saw motor.
Purchase a digital photo sensor tachometer at harbor freight. You may have to change pullies to get the rpm of the wheels. That should not be more then 1,800 rpm. Keep on Rocking. Thank you for commenting.
Why not put 2 wheels on each side? collar spacer on the inside. pvc or aluminum spacers in between
Hey there buddy I just watch the video I think it said like 11 months ago or something you do this anyways you did a great job don’t pay attention to the people who only have negative things to say it’s kind of a bummer to read the comments but that doesn’t reflect anything on you I actually purchased a Highland that’s older than I am I’m born in 76 so point being not all the parts are there are you can get parts I’m sure but you help me out with so many things that I can just create myself and repurposing so the individual that said you weren’t building it because you were repurposing full of bologna macaroni once again you did an absolutely great job I appreciate it so much I’m actually having to figure out the water thing right now so I’m excited to go to the next video I subscribed I followed and I hope to see more stuff from you have a wonderful day
Thank you for watching and for commenting. It is good to hear those out there making it happen. Me I have a 5 gallon water bucket setting on a Milk crate I bought from Home Depot. I plumbed in a little water valve and line and it free flows. I move the line to each drum as I need it. Keep on Rocking. You can get parts for the Highland Park equipment. Here is the website .... www.hplapidary.com/
just call them.
Next time you strip wiring , try a lighter, heat the housing where u want it stripped too, pull it off
Thank you for the tip! Thanks for watching too 🙂🙂
Cool
Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.

Any upgrades on your lapidary machine?
Where's the backsplash construction videos you promised? The next video in the series shows you cutting cabs on a different machine.
I will do an update this weekend on my set up.
@@DanielMillerlife Many thanks. I'm at this exact step in the project. I need to figure out how to keep the wheels wet, the spray bottle method is cumbersome.
Just uploaded the update video to the lapidary machine ... Here is the link th-cam.com/video/9x60QRkZNNY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching
Looks good but needs some water and a backsplash
I am toying with the designs of the top Splash plate and have the design for the water. Will finish that and show in my next video along with polishing a stone to show how it works.
@@DanielMillerlife just an idea , but old junky bike could maybe have fender splash guards ?
@@DanielMillerlife where did you get the splash plates and trays?
@@peterschlange1832 Thank you for watching. You can get them trough Kingsley North Inc. or here is another link lonniesinc.com/products/Tools/Lapidary/lortone_model_ns8_arbor.htm
@@MikeyMikeHq it would need to be about 4 inches wide for the expandable drum.
Where can you buy that kit and how much did it cost ?
On Amazon For the Arbor amzn.to/2WNZOa2 For the Drum Wheels amzn.to/2rleC4r then purchase a motor and pully and belts do not run the wheels over 1800 rpm
May I ask why not run the wheels over 1800 rpm? @@DanielMillerlife
@@lapidaryluke that is the recommended speed. Any fast wears the paper out and slower does not hold the paper on the wheel
Where did you find the wheels and sand paper? Thanks in advance

How much? Machine?
you can look to buy parts and make yourself. Prices have increased for parts. Or you can purchase a full machine already made check out www.hplapidary.com/
I thought this was homemade?
Ordering stuff on line and installing doesn't count homemade !
Thank you for watch. :)
@@DanielMillerlife great video!
You’re NOT supposed to run the drums without a belt!
Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. who told you that?
hmm, pretty cool but for that amount of money you can buy a 2 wheel machine.
That is a 2 wheel machine. Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.
It looks like you modified/repurposed a cell phone display. This isn't a built lapidary from things intended for other purposes. Video title is misleading click bait
The cell phone display is only a table or work bench to set everything up on. If you had a bench. Then you bolt the equipment to a piece of plywood and set on the bench. That is how it is constructed at the gem and mineral society club. It is not misleading at all.
I. Need 1 pes
Long and boring
Thank you for watching , How is your tool making going?
Keep on Rocking.
