[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 46889, member: 157"] G'day Max, As Wal advises the best way learn is through one of the local gem Clubs = They have the machinery and members that generally are willing to share their knowledge. At Sapphire the Gem club there does a lot of skin polishing sapphires. Their members are willing to provide instructions - it's a relatively cheap way to get introduced to gem cutting & you can use your flexible drill - dremmel burs and buffs. It is great while travelling- I have a small 12 volt faceting machine ( equipped with a diamond saw attachment) that I use when I'm on the road. Its really good to get out of the missus' hair and spend a bit of time with a stubby faceting what I've found on our trips. [/QUOTE]
