YOU CAN CUT , shape and polish gemstones with speed and ease if you have the right tool for the job. Just as a hammer and saw are the basic tools of a carpenter, a grinding and polishing machine and rock saw are the basic tools of the lapidary. OUR GEM-MAKERS GIVE YOU VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. We have designed them to give you lasting service, convenience and best of all - top performance to put real pleasure into your lapidary hobby or profession. We start with a top quality motor big enough for the job. We don't skimp on any of the parts, to give you the best quality for your money. Even our smallest machine, the BigFoot has a lot packed into a small package. This machine is compact, but includes extra storage for parts and accessories. OUR GEM-MAKERS ARE TOP PERFORMERS due to our special design, top quality wheels and our unique Spra-Mist pump system. On the Pixie, Genie, Xpert and Titan ma- chines, all of our basic recommended wheels are mounted at once, so you can easily proceed from one step to the next through the entire grinding and polishing process. This is an important time saver. Even the BigFoot has easy to change wheels making this process simple and quick. GALAXY METAL BOND DIA- MOND WHEELS start with a steel rim mounted to a hard plastic center. The diamond is nickel plated to the ring creating a smooth, true-running surface. You will appreciate the fact that they never need dressing, are fast and run cool.

OUR GEM-MAKERS are all versa- tile and easy to use. These machines all come complete and ready to use, just add water to the tray and plug them in to a power outlet. You can grind and polish small flats on the Pixie, Genie, Xpert and Titan machines, eliminating the need for a special flat lap machine. All four of these machines will accept a steel back-up plate attached to the right hand wheel adaptor. This allows Mag- netic Novas to be quickly applied, used and removed as you proceed through the sanding and polishing sequence. "-20 thread bolt on the right side which, in addition to the Magnetic Nova back-up plate, allows you to use the "No-Hole" diamond laps. All of our Gem-Makers will accept our Nova polishing discs, as well as our canvas, leather and felt discs. The BigFoot, Pixie, Genie and Xpert have Trim-Saw attachments available. Buff kits for metal finishing are avail- able for the Pixie, Genie and Titan machines. All of our Gem-Makers come with a lamp.Additional lamps and magnifiers may be added to all but the BigFoot. NEEDHELPMAKINGACHOICE between machines, just give our knowledgeable Customer Service department a call at 1-800-253-2954 or email customerservice@diamond- pacifictool.com. These machines all accept a 1 ⁄ 4

with diamond embedded in a tough, flexible plastic resin backed by a thick sponge rubber backing. This soft, flex- ible construction enables the surface of the Nova to conform to your stone, eliminating flat spots and scratches so difficult to remove with other methods of polishing. Nova wheels are durable and do the job fast and efficiently. PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE. Grind your cabochon to shape on an 80 grit Galaxy metal-bond diamond grinding wheel. Proceed to a 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 and then pro- ceed to the next three Nova wheels. Our standard machines come with two Galaxy wheels, 80 and 220 grits and four Nova wheels, 280, 600, 1200 and 3000 grits. We also include a 14,000 grit Diamond Nova Disc for polishing. EQUALLY IMPORTANT to the performance of our Gem-Maker's is the Spra-Mist Coolant System. Our system uses an air pump that operates a geyser (sprayer) to supply a fine water spray to the underside of the wheels. Because the unit is pumping air, not water, it cannot become clogged. There is no plumbing required. Just pour a little water in the pan and you can go to work. Our grinding and polishing machines run clean, you use them in your kitchen or den without making a lot of mess
