[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 53636, member: 1916"] Thanks Varts, I have been doing the same on the coarse cuts, find I can't get the same angle when trying to reset an angle. I have been trying to finish on Perspex with ruby powder and not getting an A-class finish, will give the copper one a go and source some diamond paste. Found I can fine tune the final finish ok but tend to over cut the smaller cuts. Think I have the wax sorted now, I found I was being too aggressive and cutting for too long at first and had a couple pop off. I preheat stone and stick on a jam tin to start with and seem to get a good bond using the black wax. Once I have transferred i reheat the stone/wax on transfer jig and apply heaps of pressure. Heatho - picked up a second hand kit late last year, have read the books and am teaching myself, only done a few so far. Just need to get out there and get some good cutters. And yes, I am on the north side of the block, we should catch up and dig a hole at some stage. [/QUOTE]
