    I'm overwhelmed and so thankful to all of the kind members who
    responded to my questions concerning lapidary equipment. 

    Honestly, I never dreamed that there were so many options. 

    Here's what I finally chose to do. 

    I came into some money unexpectedly; enough to afford a good, albeit
    expensive, machine. I chose to buy a Diamond Pacific Genie with the
    14,000 grit wheel. 

    I have an old 10" slab saw and bought a new blade and some cutting
    oil for it. 

    I purchased a 7" tile saw from Lowes for $88. Thanks to all who
    recommended a tile saw. It has a 3/4 hp motor and a 1/2" motor
    shaft. I bought a replacement 6" lapidary blade for this saw. I
    figured if this doesn't work I'm not out too much. 

    By the way I got the Genie from Rockpeddler.com for $1,650. Pretty
    good for that machine. Jeanne Ridolfi at Rockpeddler was quite nice
    and helpful. 

    Right now I'm sitting at home shivering in the cold and anxiously
    awaiting the arrival of my new toys. 

    You guys are great and I'm proud to be a part of this group. 

Yours,
Marc
