B&I mfg

Hi,

I just received a 10" from a surplus store in fairly poor condition. Looks like it is missing some parts. I would like a copy of the manual, also, and would be very happy to pay for copying and shipping or for a scanned copy. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Claude

I also would like to obtain a manual for a GemMaker 10". Thanks for your attention.

Did ever find a manual for the 10" B&I gem maker?
If so where?
Can you copy and sell copy?
As you have guessed I have one and did a manual.
Thanks

if a pdf or other online manual for the 6" machine was availible I would be very greatful if you could email it my way. : ) thanks

Hi George- I have recently obtained a 6" B&I Gemmaker- I don't think all of the parts sre with it. I am willing to purchase a copy of a manual from you if you have one. It looks to be a sturdy piece of equipment and having an original working diagram would be helpful in restoring it to working order. I am new to the hobby and would appreciate any help you could give me. - please email me a cost for a manual - many thanks- Catherine csaprike@telus.net

Well it seems that I too am in the same situaton as I am in need of that manual for a six incher !!!

any help will be appreciated,

thanks,

I bought this at an auction (I don't know why). The auctioneer had no idea, called it a "thing". Can anyone tell what it is for, does it look complete, usable? Thanks and sorry to be such an ignoramus....

I have acquired a 6" Gem Maker in pretty good condition, but of course, missing the manual.

George, or any other lucky owner of a manual: if you still are willing to make copies, I'd love one. Please contact me and let me know what I owe you for the pdf file, your time, copies & shipping or whatever!

Thanks much.

Hey George, Just wanted to say that I don't have a Gem Maker. So I won't be needing the 6" or the 10" manual.........Terry (Kentucky)

I was recently given a 10" B&I Gem Maker. It still runs ok and even has the facetor attachment and the instructions. It doesn't look like any dops came with it though... and they would have to be VERY thin to fit in the armature. Does this mesh with other folks experience? Also, the instructions indicate that the facetor head can be placed in the same slot used for the sawblade attachment... but I'm still not sure about that.

Any feedback is appreciated.
