Hello all, I have joined the forum in hopes of finding out more about this machine that belonged to my friend’s mother - I could not find anything on it online. What would you call this device exactly? My friend was also wondering what it could be worth, or whether it’s worth selling at all. Photos found in link below. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading. Cheers, Hans photos.app.goo.gl/YRrgc3KcpjTGXwv59

A lapidary combination trim saw and sanding/polishing/cabbing. IIRC diamond pacific bought out pattent or rights for (someone correct me if wrong) anyway it looks like a very desirable unit mint condition never used. It should get a premium price, for pricing I would check out lapidary supply houses and see what they have in combo units. Diamond Pacific, Lortone, Covington. Bottom line yes it is worth selling, better yet get into lapidary work yourself or mothers friend.

Star Diamond was bought by MK Diamond and operated as Barranca Diamond for 8 years before merging into MK as their "lapidary division". I have never seen that particular model. BD/MK has a Cab Combo that has 2 wheels, sanding drum and polish hub. And same trim saw. That unit with only one silicon carbide wheel would be most similar to the Rock Rascal. Maybe look that one up and price it a little less. Guessing it is heavier duty than Rock Rascal.
