Notes

I supply a screw and 3 washers to make sure the machine can be used with different disc types. Experiment with the amount of washers you use to minimize vibration.

Be careful when using this machine - it is able to grind rock so if not used carefully it can grind your skin as well!

Never turn on the water knob when the machine is off - this is to avoid water getting into the motor. 

Always use water when grinding rocks, or the rock can overheat and dust will rise into the air. 

This machine is designed to be compatible with many different lapidary discs, but it is not able to fit with each and every type of disc. This must be taken into account when purchasing lapidary supplies.

To screw discs on, press them down to make sure the screw is actually screwing into the arbor, instead of the arbor spinning as the screw is being screwed in. 

Keep in mind, this machine is 3d-printed, which means care must be taken when working with it. This machine is designed to get people started with lapidary and hone their stone polishing skills. Do not leave it in the sun or near a source of heat.
