build your own .........thats what I did......six wheeler......all diamond wheels......total cost was around 700 dollars as opposed to 1400 dollars for a new machine...........I am not a real good craftsman but I have some dandy cabs on my machine........I use a 4 inch tile saw for trimming .........

I have a question for those of you who use diamond paste with a leather pad. If I use a pad with a roughened surface on one side and a smooth surface on the other which side is best for laoding with the diamond paste??

Thanks guys !....having compared pics around the web it doe look like the ruby in zoisite takes a brighte shine. But , I was able to fine a decent size piece of ruby in fuchsite on ebay for not so much money.....I payed for it and should get it this week. Once I have made some cabs from it I will post some pictures.........

I was wondering. Which takes a better polish? Ruby in Zoisite or Ruby in Fuchsite?.....am looking to make a pendent with one or the other for Christmas. Just wondered which would shine up better....................Thanks Chris
