My girlfriend and I are rock nuts, I own a gold mine. We cut and polish rocks. I just bought a sphere machine and am trying to figure out how to do preforms on a core drill instead of the 27 cuts @ 45 deg with a saw

The multiple cuts required to create the blanks for the sphere machine has stopped me from going forward. Curious to see how your Core Drill method progresses. A few technical challenges with the Core Drill method that need to be resolved. Water cooling , and clamping of the rock being the obvious ones. Good luck.
