Hi everyone! I'm new to the board and relatively new to polishing gemstones. I've been collecting them for a number of years and have wanted to dip my toes in the polishing world for a while. I recently had the chance to buy a HP A-50 and a Rock Rascal combo unit, so I snapped them up. I'll be reading posts and learning from all of you, so thanks for the forum!

Welcome to RTH. When you have questions, someone here will be glad to answer them. I mostly tumble, but it sounds like you're going to be making cabs, so I'll let someone else answer your questions.

Thanks for the welcome! I do tumble (single drum and 2 drum units run almost continuously) and learned how to do cabs at the Georgia Mineral Society a few years ago. I live in Buford, GA and find most of my rocks in the North Georgia Mountains. I want to learn to facet, too, but that will have to wait until I can afford the machine... 😊
