:o Really??? Gosh, I'd heard the Chinese wheels were um... not up to scratch... compared to the 'name' brands.
You've seen the pics I've uploaded. All polish is off a 14k final then a rub by hand of 100k diamond. I couldn't afford nova wheels so went the cheap ones. The only soft wheels I've worn out are 140 and 300 after a fair bit of use. I suppose my machine hasn't seen the use a club machine would though.

Yes, even DD was impressed with your Fern knife.  ;)
Were they the ones from Aussie Sapph?
I didn't realise Cabking had their own wheels, I thought they used the Nova's.
This is one totally derailed thread but what the hey...it's my thread.  :P ;D
Keep em comin!!!

LATEST UPDATE for those who have read this thread in the past but may have missed it mentioned elsewhere.
I just read in another thread that Jarvi has passed the baton over to Wyatt and Wayne Yeager... so machines and parts are now continuing.
Thanks Bucket and Leah for this info. Great news for the many many Facetron users in Aus.
Keep em comin!!!
