I have looked for this thread, and I have found it on other sites, but not this forum! Please point me in the right direction if I posted this to the wrong place! Thanks so much
I am looking at buying my first piece of equipment (other than a tumbler I mean)
My options are. Buy a new Diamond Pacific Genie or a CabKing 6 or 8"?
I can get a new CabKing 8" for a similar price as a new Genie 6".!
If I went with the CabKing, I would eventually swap the wheels for DP Nova's!
So I am setting this machine up in my storage room at home (just a spare room with wood flooring). I am curious on the noise the CabKing makes when running(not grinding) compared to the genie!?
I have only ever used the genies our local club has and have heard the CabKing are louder than the DP!
I love the idea of the water drip of the CK rather than DP's spout.. and the cost of it! But I love hearing about people's 25+ year old genies still working great(and seeing first hand the four 20+ year old ones our club has)
I don't have tons of room for my set up, just a desk, so I feel like the CK would be a pain with the buckets and hoses everywhere, but would be willing to deal with it if it meant I'd be happier with it!
I don't want to get a DP just because it's what most of the old timers recommend, but I really really do like the DP nova wheels and am nervous about trying the CK wheels!
I have no saws or anything at the moment, and I am planning on just using the saws at my local club for the first while!
Thanks for any input! Also, is there anywhere to look for used equipment other than eBay? Thanks in advance for all of your time, advice, and comments!
