Diamond Pacific cabbing machines
Diamond Pacific's Pixie, Genie and Titan use different wheel sizes and take up different amounts of bench space. Older machines can also have different motors and water parts, so identify the configuration before ordering replacements.
Pixie, Genie & Titan
Diamond Pacific listed all three machines in September 2026. Each mounts six wheels so you can move from grinding to sanding without changing the wheel at every step. They differ in working size, construction and the bench space they need.
| Model | Grinding / sanding wheels | Baseboard | Motor in this catalogue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixie | 4 × 1¼ in / 4 × 1¼ in | 14½ × 18 in | Rating not stated |
| Genie | 6 × 1½ in / 6 × 1½ in | 13½ × 29¾ in | ½ hp |
| Titan | 7⅝ × 1½ in / 7⅝ × 2 in | 16 × 42 in | ¾ hp |
Dimensions above describe the baseboard, not shipping cartons or clearance around the machine. Diamond Pacific 2020 catalogue, hosted by the dealer Silverhawk (PDF). Confirm the supplied configuration when ordering a new machine.
Pixie: the compact option
The Pixie uses a moulded housing and four-inch wheels. Diamond Pacific lists its weight as under 30 lb including the lamp, which makes it the one to consider first if you need to put the machine away between sessions. Its right-hand attachment accepts a ¼–20 bolt and accessories no larger than four inches. A larger lap is not a direct upgrade. Pixie product page.
Genie: the six-inch model
The Genie sits between the Pixie and Titan in wheel size and bench space. Its accessory range includes flat laps, buffing equipment and a trim-saw attachment. Price the complete setup you want: a used machine with missing adapters may need more than a fresh set of wheels. Genie product page.
Titan: larger wheels and cast housings
The Titan's cast-aluminium hoods and pans distinguish it from the smaller machines. It takes 7⅝-inch wheels, not eight-inch ones, and its 2-inch Nova sanding wheels are wider than its 1½-inch Galaxy grinding wheels, so check both diameter and width when ordering replacements. Diamond Pacific asks buyers to arrange purchase and shipping with customer service; its online stock indicator does not show actual availability. Titan product page.
| Machine | Listed price (USD) | Listed electrical options |
|---|---|---|
| Pixie | $2,250 | 115 V; ask about 230 V |
| Genie | $2,950–$3,075 | 115 V / 60 Hz; 230 V / 50 Hz |
| Titan | $4,615–$4,895 | 115/230 V / 60 Hz; 230 V / 50 Hz |
These are dated manufacturer listings, not delivered quotes. Confirm voltage, frequency, included equipment, freight and taxes with the seller.
Wheels & polishing
The 2020 catalogue specifies Galaxy 80 and 220 grit grinding wheels, followed by Nova 280, 600, 1,200 and 3,000 grit sanding wheels. It also lists a separate 14,000 grit Nova disc. Galaxy and Nova describe different wheel constructions; a replacement needs the right type as well as the right grit.
Nova wheels hold diamond in a flexible resin layer over a cushioned backing. Diamond Pacific sells several diameters and widths. Before ordering, record the old wheel's diameter, width and bore, then check the shaft adapter, spacers and available clearance. A "six-inch wheel" label gives only the diameter. Nova construction and size options.
A used machine may carry a different grit sequence or aftermarket wheels. Read each wheel's markings and record its position before removing anything. The original catalogue package tells you what was supplied at that date; it cannot identify the wheels fitted today.
Identify the configuration, not just the name
Genies of different ages can need different electrical parts. Diamond Pacific's 2007 catalogue and 2010 catalogue (archived PDFs) list a ¼ hp, 1,800 rpm capacitor-start motor drawing 400 W at 115 V, with a 230 V, 50 Hz version for export. The 2020 catalogue lists a ½ hp motor. Its spare-parts table gives new Genie capacitor, pump-belt, hood and baseboard numbers dated 1-1-19 but keeps the old motor number, 101-GMO-125, so the part number alone does not tell you which motor a machine has.
The wheels stayed the same: the 2007 Genie came with Galaxy 80 and 220 grit and Nova 280, 600, 1,200 and 3,000 grit wheels, all 6 × 1½ in with 1-inch arbor holes. The 2007 spare-parts table on page 11 lists the ¼ hp motor as 101-GMO-125, its capacitor as 101-GCA-65 and the Genie pump as 101-G-PUMP. Quote the old number when you ask Diamond Pacific for a current equivalent.
| Check | Record before ordering |
|---|---|
| Motor plate | Manufacturer, model, horsepower, voltage, frequency and speed. Photograph the whole plate. |
| Water system | Pump type, number of pumps, drive belts, tubing and geysers. Photograph any conversion. |
| Wheel assembly | Wheel sizes, spacers, left- and right-hand adapters, and any part numbers. |
| Accessories | Lap mounting, lamp mounts, cab rest, hoods, pans and splash guards. |
The 2007 Genie page gives the full older specification. The motor plate and fitted parts identify an individual machine, especially if a previous owner replaced its motor or water system.
Parts & water systems
Diamond Pacific's current Gem Maker parts catalogue lists model-specific pump maintenance kits, belts, replacement leathers, tubing, geysers, bearings, wheel bushings and adapters. Start with that parts range, then match the item to the machine's configuration.
- Pump parts: identify the pump before buying a kit. The 2020 parts table separates the Titan's 1978–1992 single metal pump from its twin-pump system.
- Wheel adapters: specify the model and side. Pixie and Genie right-hand adapters have separate listings.
- Spacers: match the wheel arrangement. A changed wheel width may change the space needed along the shaft.
- Electrical parts: send the motor-plate details with an enquiry. The name on the hood does not establish which motor or capacitor is fitted.
A current alternative to the original pump
Diamond Pacific lists a separately powered Gem Maker Mist System Kit, 101-K-PUMP, at $155 on 22 September 2026. The maker states that it fits Pixie, Genie and Titan machines regardless of age. It uses its own wall connection rather than the machine's mechanical pump drive. Confirm the kit's electrical supply and contents before choosing it over a repair.
Include missing parts in the price
Compare a used machine on its asking price plus transport, replacement wheels and any missing water or mounting parts. Ask the seller for the following evidence before treating an incomplete machine as a saving:
- Readable motor-plate photographs and an explanation of any modifications.
- A demonstration of the machine running with its water system working at every wheel.
- Close photographs of wheel surfaces, pans, hoods, shaft adapters and the baseboard.
- A list of included lamps, rests, guards, laps, adapters and paperwork.
Ask about bearing noise, vibration, leaks and wheel wobble. A video can reveal a problem, but it cannot establish the condition of a motor or bearing. Get a parts quote for visible faults before comparing the total with a new machine.
Manuals & catalogues
The 2020 Diamond Pacific catalogue (PDF) gives model packages on pages 2, 4 and 6, adapters on page 7 and spare parts on page 9. It is a dated manufacturer catalogue hosted by the dealer Silverhawk, not an operating manual or a current price list. For a Genie from the 2000s, use the 2007 and 2010 catalogues.
For an operating manual or an uncertain part, contact Diamond Pacific through its website. Supply the model, motor plate, approximate age and photographs of the relevant assembly. Ask for the manual that matches that configuration. Diamond Pacific also sells a Genie video guide on DVD, part 240-248, covering setup, wheel replacement and pump troubleshooting. Manuals for other makers' machines are listed on the parts and manuals page.
