    Ron.....from what I see in the pic...this is a buffing lathe for
    metal.....not for cutting cabochons. I see there is a lot of metal
    polishing materials in the kit. There is also some stone working
    items such as the expanding drum, saw blade (?), a grinding wheel
    (diamond), and maybe a polishing end plate. 

    The reason I say its a metal polishing unit, is the open motor. When
    cutting/polishing gemstones you nmust use copious water. It is
    dangerous to do so around a motor that has open cooling vents. 

Cheers, Don.
