In this weeks Video I would like to show you an easy and simple Tutorial of how i charge my Metal Laps with Diamond before i use them for the first time to prepolish or polish my faceted Gemstones. It is really simple and very effective, i never had any Problems with Metal on the Facets of a Gemstone. I charged my Copper Lap and my BATT Lap with this simple Methode. Today i charge my Zinc Plus Lap by Gearloose Lapidary with this Method, here in the Video. With many Tips and Tricks, i show you Step by Step how i charge my Metal Laps for prepolishing and polishing Gemstones with my UltraTec V5 Faceting Machine.
I hope you enjoy my Videos and looking forward with me together, to work on Gemstones. Share it with your Friends, subscribe to my Channel and leave a Comment or Thumbs up, so we grow a great Community of fantastic People and have some Fun in Gemstones together.

Excellent instructions, thank you!
Thank you
I'm just starting out and this very detailed video is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
Thank you for watching and your Feedback
I sometimes use a piece of MM sapphire to "embed" the charge after a deep clean. Great instructional video.
Thanks Tony, also for your good Tips👍
Thank you for this video, I also looked for copper lap charging video and could find it.
You can also load a copper lap using the same method.
Just received my starter polishing kit from Gearloose. Thank you for the how-to.
Thanks this really helps 😊 👍
Thanks
Thanks for video, very nice disc .
Thanks for watching🙂
Wow nice it is very interesting.
Thank you
Okay Ty!
Creat video thank you
Thank you
amazing video! I definitely enjoyed this equipment video, thanks for making and sharing it
i have two questions
1- is there any need to use water drip during polishing?
2- is tin lap made of pure "Sn" element (like the zinc lap in the video) or its an alloy of some kind?
Thank you 🙂 with pleasure👍
1. No need to use Water, the tiny amount of oil is enough.
2. Most Tin Laps are Tin Alloy but for example UltraTec has a pure tin lap (A pure Tin "old reliable" Fine grained rolled tin laminated to a master lap producing an excellent final polishing lap)
Thanks for the great video! what to do if ditches appear on such a disc?
Thanks 🙂 I dont know if it is a solution for ditches, i didnt have the problem up to date but i would try a method, i have seen in a Video by Steve Moriarty. If the ditches are not to big i would try it. Mr Moriarty shows how he cleans a BATT Lap with Lava Soap. It is like a total refresh of the surface. If you try it please let us know if it is successful. Here is a link to Mr Moriartys Video. Check his Video here czcams.com/video/nnX8ate7778/video.html
The process starts at about Minute 54
thank you for the beautiful video and thank you for the information.can you polish diamond with zinc lap?
Thank you for watching, i dont have the right equipment to polish Diamonds. Usually the zinc Lap is for polishing facet grade soft Stones.
👏
Hello.
Thank you for your video..
Tell me please, do you moisten the lap during the pre-polishing with BATT lap? If yes, how much water do you use?
Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching, Evgeny. I don't moist the lap with water, I just use a tiny amount of the snake oil (Put a small drop of oil on a paper towel and wipe it over the disc, then wipe with a dry towel once or twice before apply the diamond.) WD40 works well too. Btw: After some time, you can wipe off the slurry (works several times) with a clean, dry paper towel and continue polishing.
@@GermanGemcutter
Ok. Thank you for your answer.
I tried to work it this way with WD40...
But swarf is disturbing...
And it occurs very quickly.
I use a hardly dropping warer instead...
As a result - very clean lap and nice polishing.
I wanted to get how do you do. Maybe you are doing your individual secret way)))
Ok.. thank you very much!
Take care
👍👍
I need to ask, what is the minimum ammount of disks i can use to do lapidary work? i cant afford 500$ in disks, so im wondering if i neeed to start buying them one by one till i have enough to get the machine. if you had to chose the fewest disks needed, what would they be?
Minimum you will need a 240 (preforming) and 600 grit(in well used condition, to produce a smooth surface ready for pre polishing. otherwise an 1200grit also)
Minimum one Metal Lap for prepolishing e.g. Bat Lap or Copper for 8k (Polycristaline Diamond) prepolishing and a polishing lap e.g. Darkside for polishing with Oxides.
my batt lap is brand new, I did that 3 times and I still get metal on my facet, how many time did you do this with a new batt lap?
hello, you put only this tiny line with the diamond stick and it is enough to charge? i tried to charge a zinc + with 8k stick from gearloose, i put way more diamond and had to put more and more to get it working not too slow but had a lot of scratching
so my question is for 8k prepolish you only put as much diamond as on the video here?
thank you very much for your videos!
Hi, for the first charge i used about this amount and the same for prepolishing my Stones, yes.
What material you tried to prepolish on your Zinc+ Lap? Does the scratches have a metallic shine?
Ever tried using a piece of lab-made Corundum to embed your diamond ?
No, but it also works well, according to other Gemcutters. I think the method with a card like this, is easier and faster👍
do you use dripping water when using it afterwards? or this does not require water?
No water required
Just wondering, how long do you have to wait for your shipment? If you don’t mind to ask.
A few months for the complete Machine with all Accessories.
What micron size poly diamond are you using? Thanks
Usually 8k and 16k for prepolishing and up to 100k for polishing, Thanks for watching
Hi, i use a tin lap for polishing. I charge my laps with regular 8k to 50k grit, whichever I need. However, I have noticed that as I polish, some of the resulting slurry, what shows to be, minute metallic flakes. The surface of the lap looks irregular at some points. I am afraid I am damaging the lap. Do you know anything about this problem?
No, I have never seen such metallic flakes in slurry before. Do you also have metallic spots on the polished facets?
Btw: There is a good guide by Steve Moriarty on how to clean and recover the surface of metal polishing laps with lava soap.
I cant remember in which of his Videos he showed this but i am pretty sure it was in one of his series about how to cut and polish gemstones. Here is a Playlist including both series:
czcams.com/play/PLwBsvcRI6nW-igkdv6wktCq26Z8x2ZH5T.html
It is that the same process you would use to put cerium oxide on a darkside lap
Thanks for watching🙂 No, check my Video here, there i show how to polish with oxide on a Darkside lap. czcams.com/video/olof6tZ64Bo/video.html
Where do I buy that record? please
It is made by Gearloose Lapidary, here is a Link to the Shop gearloose.co/shop/darkside/
@@GermanGemcutter do you ship to venezuela? how do i contact you and talk directly with the team to give you the address? i also need to ask for the address of the team.
Thank you for the video. 🙏
You could use a charging roll to charge the diamond.
I'll upload a video this week on my channel. Please check it out and let me know what you think. 🙂
Thanks for watching and the Informations. I will check your Video👍
