[QUOTE="Sodabowski, post: 122925, member: 2712"] I wouldn't use sandpaper either, the diamond bit tool is the best way to avoid trouble down the road. Rough2cut, you just made another idea pop into my mind: how about a resurfacing jig to be attached to the mast? After all a faceting machine's platter is like a lathe. With a sturdy mast it could be done, depending on the actual flatness level required. I suppose you can achieve insane flatness with your equipment though, which is always better for small stones like aussie saphs. Love me some brainstorming :) [/QUOTE]
