Got a nice note from Al Sesona. The curved disks for cabs are still on hold. He doesn't know when he will receive them so he can send them out.

Since I wanted the Deluxe Version with the two Curved Disks 180/600 for $499.00 in the first place -vs- the $399.00 El cheapo unit What happens now when the New Disks finally Come in?, do I get them for paying the difference of the extra $100.00 and do I get free shipping?

I can’t answer any of your questions but I purchased the extra curved disks an I HAVE NOT ONE CLUE HOW TO USE THEM 😂

I can’t answer any of your questions but I purchased the extra curved disks an I HAVE NOT ONE CLUE HOW TO USE THEM 😂 Mel Did you purchase the $499.00 Deluxe Package with the 2 curved or the $399.00 flat discs like we did and the extra curved dics later? I think the flat disc if for getting the cabs back flat and then shape of the cabs sides done, then the 2nd stage curved disc is to make the face curved of the cab that's how I envision it working. Pat have you asked Al how much the curved discs will be? And if there is any shipping involved? I talked to Al as we were on our way to Church He says he got my check and mine will be on the way, I said maybe he should hold mine till the discs will be shipped then he can ship it all at the same time. He said NO that he wants me to get the grinder and start using it. So I expect it any day now.

TheRock Since I had already paid for the grinder and the two extra disks, I didn't ask. I wanted him to send what he had (the grinder), and to send the discs when possible. I think the discs totaled $100, since the grinder alone was s$399, and with discs $499. I hope we get them soon. Would be helpful.

Hey guys... I bought the Deluxe package right off the bat. I received all at once BUT at that time Al didn’t have as many customers 😂😂 In a couple of weeks I’ll be heading back to William Holland for my REAL INTARSIA class. Since I’ll be able to focus solely on that I’m going to take my whole machine and curved wheels to see if anyone has Tricks and Tips. I’m super excited!

He said NO that he wants me to get the grinder and start using it. And get it dirty?!! laughing Gee Capt'n She has put Several Tubs Away of the sliced agates I have cut or I would have shown you more sliced agate specimens of what I will show you here. I have used a gal 3/4 of mineral oil because I have changed the oil 3 times in the BD so far. Is that okay or should I just run dirty oil until the blade gets so gunked up till the saw catches on fire? Here is a Lil Vid for our Capt'n and pics of about 1/10 of what I have sliced thus far. I am fixing to hook up the drainage system and The cabbing will start on the CAB KING and the Intarsia Grinder.

Best keep that video for the insurance co. for when the saw catches fire... I had the Insurance guy over while I was changing oil in the saw last week and he did make the comment how nice my shop looks I showed him the bushel of SLABS I cut and told him those have all been cut in less than a month! He said WOW Duke, your shop sure looks better than that Capt'n Bob guys!

Guys, Please excuse the newbee question but where does the Intarsia Grinder fit in equipment wise with lap grinders, etc... I read the posts but am not quite sure as to it's main purpose or function. Thank You...I'm close to St. Augustine so it caught my eye

Thank You...I'm close to St. Augustine so it caught my eye It gives an exact 90 degree angle. Accessories can give other angles as well. The accessory some of us are waiting for are two curved disks that give the beginnings of a cab —- like the first two wheels on a Genie.

You can turn this awesome quilt block into jewelry with Al’s Grinder.
