Is it fuse flow?

I have a question do you use water or oil? I inherited a saw just like yours and they had oil rather than water.

How do you call the box? With on -off switches? I need to buy that thanks

As an apprentice jeweler...i so appreciate your vids. Great narration and explanations.

Great segment on fusing. Thank you so much!

I have this lortone automatic 14 inch, bought it just yesterday no idea how to use it lol

Thank you, kindly for teaching me how to use this machine. Great job.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful for a beginner like me.

Thank you for this video! Would this work for fusing 2 pieces of 18k wire (same wire), to tey to make a thicker gauge wire?

I'd argue this video is more important than the videos on how to get a stone *on* the stick.

I am a new on this but the cost of machines made me wonder… There are cabochon for sale on Temu 30 pcs only $10.48 and free shipping.

Dose it matter if its 91% or 99%

Thank you so much, I have watched a lot of informative videos for this craft. Without a doubt yours is very easy to follow and helpful. You are very much appreciated.

Hey man just got into gemstones I have a certified Ruby gemstone that's 955 carat I wanted to know if there is somehow I can send you the rock so you can shape and cut it for me🙏🙏 please

Now I know how, the question is why ?

what is the rpm ?

"It's a freestyle move." xD

What if you do get some glue on the stone itself, rather than just the desired small crack?

Great video. I am thinking of buying the machine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

thanks fot this information and detailed video! A lot of this information is gatekept or really hard to find such a detailed explanation. I've purchased everything to make some RTV silicone molds and seeing this gives me confidence that it's not as hard as it seems

Thanks for the video. Good guide for beginner like me 👍

Great presentation. Thank you

Mine didn't come assembled with wheels on it do you have a video on how to assemble to put the wheels on

Thank you. Everyone shows how to putnit on but you are them only one i found who shows how to takenit off 😊

Health. Wrap this machine with a spare set, maybe for 4 wheels.🧐✍️🔥

Giday 😊 With the cabking do you need to be connected into a water main or is there an option where you can put a container of water for it to use?

Many years ago at a rock & gem club meeting, one of the members demonstrated his method of grinding - sanding cabachons on a home-made lapidary machine. When he got to the polishing stage, he used a disc of shag rug rubber cemented to a spin disc and Cerium oxide for the polish. I have used the rug/cerium oxide method for years. The polish shine is very high/lusterous on all the cabs I did, especially agates. Just a suggestion.

Enjoyed the video very much. Your explainations are very good.

I just found your channel Do you ever freeform your stones?

There was something swimming in your water reservoir. 🐟

Great information and delivery, but the music was so distracting I almost clicked away. Lots of great creators do this - the loud obnoxious music; does anyone know why? Is there a why?

Great video. Thank you. Subscribed.

You just gave me hope. Thanks. This is going to make cutting my opals so much easier, as I have been cutting them by hand.

How could you fix a large moonstone cabochon that cracks across after being set? Is there a way to stabilize it so it looks ok as it is a beautiful stone?

Would this work on larimar stone ?

Does it use water/ oil? And wherevdo you putvthe water/ oil in at?

I have one just like yours that I never have used. Im so happy I found your video. I'll probably have a ton of questions.😁

Such a good video ..did this at college years ago with the old red rubber but using clear silicone is a great Idea I’m still interested in ‘ proper’ casting ,ie vaccuum or spin ..but still can’t afford the gear …I bought it all second hand once ..had to sell before using as my storage space dissapeared ….sold it to another student on the goldsmiths business (1998 I think )course…he took all the gear..then never paid me…(he was from Manchester in case anyone knows him )ho hum …at last I’ve got a decent smith little torch for delft clay …and I still dream really well made video thankyou

Do you feel like a trim saw will work for making slabs for cabs versus using a slabbing saw. I don't know how difficult it is to get an even cut for cabbing without a slabbing saw because I've not used a trim saw before.

How long would you say one of those kitty buckets of water last when cutting half hour, hour. I suppose you would learn quick while cutting.

Great video! You mentioned the type of blade was important, but I didn’t hear what type of blade you are using, other than a 6”? Thanks😊

Do you wear breathing protection when you are grinding cabochons?

Very good video where your explanation are precise. I learned something new and just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing 😊👍.

I just ordered this machine and you presented such a great video!

Do u have templates for sale?

Gemstones that are repaired with glue are prone to fractures and discoloration. A veteran lapidary artist told me that it ruins an artist's reputation, and he has seen it for himself. They can't compete in a gem show, according to him. Some were even asked to leave according to him. Also, coating gemstones is a big no-no. It will fail too.

This has been a helpful video as I am just getting started. On some stones, like Amethyst, I get sort of a ragged edge around the cab. The 80 wheel doesn't seem to take it off but the 220 wheel seems to make it worse. Is there a technique for this?

Good!

Now here's where I feel like a dope. I know the saw trick ok, but I usually anneal the ring to get the ends together well enough, then use the half rounds. Ring bending pliers! They SIT THERE on my rack, and I don't even want to think about the time I have wasted not using them for this. Ugh!
