- Im cutting a montana sapphire in this video . This will be a small round cut stone , most montana sapphires are small ones. This stone came from the spokane bar mine.
I sell finished jewelry in my etsy store : www.etsy.com/shop/Gemsbymbk?r...
Beautiful, deep color in that piece, Brent. Thanks for sharing the RedWing lap... That's the first one I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing your work!!!
Thanks john, That lap is really nice to use, such a time saver and less chance of mistakes by not having to reset the mast heights for different thickness laps.
Im real careful to fully clean the stone between moving from 8k to the 60k ring.
hello good morning my friend what a good feeling to see you perform the cuts on this stone like guaranteed my friend Fuiiii
Yes, thank you
Love your channel!! Think you could try making a 20 sided dice out of gemstone? I'd love to see what that process looks like
Thanks very much , i dont know if i could do that. ill look into it
muito tope amigão aí vai meu like
Origado
Nice mate
Thank you.
Hello Brent hope you are well.. great tutorials... I have a rough ruby stone of 135 carats any suggestions what I can do? Don’t want to mess it up...thanks
Hi, well most likely it isnt a facetable gem so that would leave cutting it as a cabochon and at that size it would be quite a job, Maybe you could have it sawn up into smaller sizes.
Great video Brent!, may i ask did you get all of your dops directly from ultra tec?.
I got a set of graves non keyed dops with my machine but later bought the UT set. Actually i have bought a metal cutting lathe and have made some dops and im checking the accuracy of them now on a stone im cutting .
great video! may you please show us how you rigged that electronic meter to read as a down indicator.. I need to try this on my UTv5! thanks!
Are you on facebook? if so go to my page and look for the video on that. brent knowlton
@@tennpikr74Will do so! perfect thank you!
Is faceters wax different from normal doping wax?
That's a beautiful stone. Is this a Yugo or are all Sapphires from Montana called Yugo's?
Faceting wax is different from most cabbing wax, i think its stronger. Yogo gulch sapphires are from a a different area than this one , yogos are blue in color.
@@tennpikr74 thank you for the information
Appreciate you! This is really nice video....
I am working on corundum and Emeralds faceting. Can you guide me where online can I get exact faceting diagrams for corundum and Emeralds?
Thanks , yes, www. facetingdiagrams.org
www.gemologyproject.com
emerald RI is 1.58 , corundum is 1.76
usually you can search on these sites for diagrams with those RIs and find them.
