washingtoncougar	Lapidary Equipment for sale, trade, wanted or just plan helpful tips Jan 29 2008, 8:03 PM EST I figured with people starting to get into the craze of rockhounding because of the Cash and Treasures programs that the Lapidary side is part of it. Most people doing this don't have alot of money to buy new equipment to start out with (all mine is used, I even started with a 7" tile saw from Home Depot). So if you have a piece of equipment you don't need anymore do to upgrading or just don't want it taking up space or if your looking for a piece that you don't have in your shop maybe someone here has it or needs it. If you have a piece of equipment that your not quit sure how to use maybe someone can help out with some useful tips. I hope this takes off and is useful to everyone.

Dave" Hi, I just had an idea to add to yours. Maybe some of the people would trade equipment for rough rock!!! Some of is have the rpogh and not the equipment to work it. Let me know if you like this idea at Rockhound5555@yahoo.com Thanks Sharon Post reply 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
washingtoncougar	2. RE: Lapidary Equipment for sale, trade, wanted or just plan helpful tips Feb 7 2008, 1:03 AM EST \| Post edited: Feb 7 2008, 1:03 AM EST That would work to. Another idea would be trade for services, such as I have the rock saws but not the tumbling or faceting equipment. I might be willing to cut or slab whole rocks for someone if they facet a gem for me. Post reply 4 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

I'm looking for plume agate, nice jasper, and crazy lace, agates with inclusions, Maury Mountain moss, I haven't been able to find a source for Apache Rhyolite either. Nice stuff for slabs. I don't need thundereggs, geodes, or Brazil agate. NEED HELP WITH 16' OLD DIAMOND STAR SAW. anyone have experience with them? All of the sudden my stops feeding about an inch into a cut.

RE: Lapidary Equipment for sale, trade, wanted or just plan helpful tips May 3 2008, 6:59 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 3 2008, 6:59 PM EDT I was actually thinking of rough for sale. But, I do have a 6" inland trim saw that I don't use. I bought it when I was working in Texas for three months to use in my hotel room. It's had very little use, and I don't need it because I have an 8" trim saw that I use at home. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
