Lortone lapidary and jewelry equipment
Lortone Inc offers professional tools for lapidary and jewelry artists, as you can read from their official slogan. Peeking at the devices posted on the front page, you can understand that they aren`t more than useful helpful hands in handmade jewelry, but they prove their full capacity in creating glamorous jewels as those, that you can see in my latest posts (just take a look at the diamond rings over there and you will figure out what a Lortone equipment can do).

Surprisingly, Lortone equipment isn`t expensive at all. For example a lapidary rock gem rotary tumbler costs about 80$. Among this necessary piece in order to obtain a highly polished item, you might be interested in purchasing abrasives, polishes, diamond saws, sanding belts or blades, arbores, cabochon machines, laps and other machines, that will easy your effort and render your jewel closer to perfection.
Each of these tools has a specific function, so it`s recommended to buy a tumbling kit and a polisher, in order to fully enhance your artistic works.
Let`s see how much costs a medium complete Lortone equipment.
Jewelry Tumbling Kit (105$) is a must-have for a perfect shape of your jewels. The tumbling movement polish the jewel, thanks to a stainless steel shot mix.
Next step will be to clean your jewel, after this operation of first polish. You will be needing a Dust collector (450$), the most expensive of all Lortone lapidary equipment. Dust collector, as its name indicates, collects quietly and efficiently metal particles, dust and lint remained after polish. In order to see the unwanted particles, the machine is usually built in white or light grey tones. The expensive price is explained through the fact that Dust collector can make good job even in the most narrow corners of the jewel. You will have in your hands a perfect clean jewel, ready to be support your next creative action.

Finally, end your work with the help of Compact jewelry polisher (150$). This small machine add a final and professional polish to your jewel. The machine comes to a variable speed control, so you can decide on your own how polished the jewel will be.
Want to save some money with your jewelry equipment?! Nothing simpler for Lortone! Try LU6X- 130, a sensational machine that combines the functions of a trim saw and arbor in the same unit. Paying 630$, you will have in your workshop a tiny machine that makes double job!
These are the most common tools offered by Lortone. If you are interested in something else like a more complex machine for a certain jewelry operation, you will find it on the official website.
What I found it really well thought about this company is the fact that they assure you a free manual in pdf format for every machine, so you won`t have trouble about handling it.
