[QUOTE="Hatchetwarrior, post: 536636, member: 17582"] Thanks for all the information so far . I'm starting to look at new machines so I have no gamble in the purchase. And I want some digital readout too I've seen some as far as depth of cut monitors alongside highly modded machines with from,angle and depth for less than what I have looked at. I know a machine can be a lifetime investment and I'm not on the hunt for rough right now I'm back where I can speck for gold. I do have a nearby club I joined but they aren't very active. The idea is to learn to cut a good stone precisely and then move onto sapphire rough. I know sapphire is a quite hard stone on the mohs scale so I'm looking to learn on something softer to make the most of my laps cause those fucked up can be expensive. I tried to talk to the lady about if she was flexible on 4.5k and she said outright no. I was considering learning with a master lap and toppers before I go nuts on metal and ceramic gear. Is that a better way to start and learn rather than wreck stone and resurfacing metal? [/QUOTE]
