How steady is the spindle? Is there any vibration? I cut and polish opal which requires a very steady wheel.

There is mild vibration, but my husband and I have cut and polished Boulder opal, Ethiopian opal, and Australian opal with no problem. The pieces we worked/work on have not broken or are not misshaped in any way. We cut all different types of rock/gems as well.

where does the water come from

The water sits in a bucket (not included) with the included water pump. The water pump pumps the water through the hoods. The water is then disbursed over each individual wheel.

Do I need to assemble this?

There is some assembly. The machine motor will need to be mounted to the base and the wheels will need to be put on the machine . The water trays and sides will need to be assembled also and water tubes to the trays. There is quite a bit of assembly but well worth it. I have had my 8" Cab King now for a year now and love it! If you have any other questions let me know.

How many gallons per hour does this use? Also how messy is this to use. It looks like a lot of water splashes out during use

I use a 5-gallon bucket for the pump and another for the drainage. I usually add 1-gallon of water each time I work and usually work for 1-2 hours without needing to add more. It does splash some, so I have a plastic cover over my work table and then tuck an old towel around the base of the machine which works really well and lessens the cleanup. The hardest part of cleanup is cleaning the trays.
