Lets Cut Boulder opal - DO NOT slice boulder opal this way!!

Ойын-сауық

This would be my first time cutting boulder opal. I've owned some before, but never cut it. Ill show you a typical Yowah Nut, And boulder opal typical of Queensland Australia. I also try to slice a stone in half using my flimsy Dremel set up....

    I liked this singing too 😅, that's authentic! The reason why people turned off must be the song, that reminds them of the sad movie.

    Nick! Thanks a lot for the splash guard shout out 🙏. After I had same dirty problems with boulders, I had to do something. That's sometimes not fun cutting with such stones 😅. Anyway, turned out good 👍. Liked the cabochon shaping a lot, you're getting better and better!

    Hi Nick, the smaller stone has flashes under the rough spot, I think it’s worth chasing to clean the stone up. The test piece is awesome though, nice job.

    @@DaisyOpals it’s so hard to know when to stop with Boulder, but a smooth hard ironstone can still add to the look and feel. But I do believe there is good colour there from what I can see, tough decision but worth it I think. PS, I have cut through the colour many times on Boulder, but also improved them incredibly, the Boulder with low to no colour is perfect backing material for doublets so it would go to waste. Good luck on what ever you do. A nice finished stone will always sell better too if thats your end game.

    Yo corto las gemas con hilo diamante circular no se vende de esta manera hay que soldar con aleación plata el corte no precisa de pulir ya que la guia de corte en resorte para la acción de banda continua el eje de tensión del hilo es el propio resorte eje tracción superior y eje neutro dentro de cubo enfriamiento puedo laminar piedras con un grosor de 1.mm sin dañarlas lo único complicado es la soldadura del acero Diamond corte la primera que fabrique era como sierra eje resorte pero gasta solo 4.cm y 20.cm para montar en la estructura el sistema de vía para la piedra tenia error de tolerancia y provocaba oscilaciones en el mismo corte con error de 2.mm en la nueva no hay error de alineamiento de cada nuevo corte similar al laminado laser pero con hilo de Diamond

    El cabezal dremel es basura en España se ha prohibido la venta en muchas tiendas por qué los discos de corte se sueltan y salen despedidos
