Whether you're a beginner, lapidary hobbyist or jewelry making pro, this machine is easy to use at any skill level. The 8" All-U-Need is lightweight, rustproof and impact-resistant, making it easy to travel with and very portable. Its 1/4 hp, heavy-duty, ball bearing motor is variable speed, delivering speeds from 800rpm to 3,400rpm so you can work at any speed you desire. The clean water system is easy to use, simply fill the top water cup with clean water and control the water flow from a drip to a stream using the on/off valve installed on the water tube. Its simplified drain system allows the dirty, used water to drain out into the included drain cup. The All-U-Need comes with an accessory kit that allows you to work right out of the box. This kit works especially well for polishing quartz, agate, jasper, tourmaline, corundum, opal and a large variety of natural gem material. This kit also works well with synthetic gem material and enamels.
