Dop Pots - $75 each I have two of these dop pots powered by 100-watt light bulbs. They are unquestionably the best for heating your dop wax and preforms. Each for $75, but if you buy both I will throw in a box full of "real" 100-watt light bulbs for heating your wax. Easily clean off old wax with denatured alcohol. |

Lortone Grinder/Polisher - $1,400 This Lortone is a beast! I haven't tried it, but I think you could drop it on the floor and sustain no damage (but don't try it). It functions perfectly and includes six good wheels! You put water in the tank and provide a bucket for the drainage. A line cord switch turns it on and off. Motor runs fine. |

Trim Saw Trim saw uses 4-inch blades which I buy on eBay. It's been a workhorse for cutting preforms. Not suitable for slabbing. |

Dry Lap Polisher This is a really cool piece of equipment! Put your geode or other flat piece in one of the circular collars, turn it on, and it dry polishes your rock! THIS NEEDS RESTORATION, but it will be a valuable tool in your shop once you're finished. I added the power switch but lost interest in the project. The only information I could find about this is a patent application. $100. |

Chop Saw I got this 14-inch slab saw some years ago but never finished reassembling it. It works fine but needs rewiring (shouldn't be too difficult). This would be a great addition to your shop; much more useful then a 10-inch saw. |

Shop Radio Sony AM/FM solid state radio. You can actually hear it when you're not sawing! $20. |
