[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 452865, member: 10304"] There's one thing about our 'art' there can be some challenges. Currently cutting a piece of mm sapphire and working the girdle on a 1200 sintered lap, all going well and the... this: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1542518154_too-hard-to-cut.jpg[/img] Tried cutting in one direction, then the other, cut fast then slow but this facet plus the opposing one is acting like it's 11 on the Moh scale, 20 mins and it hasn't moved! The lap is brand new from Anthony Fitzgerald and has worked beautifully on every other facet, but this pair 'hit the wall'! [/QUOTE]
