It is usually best to not wear a sweater when cutting. Wait, what?

Very impressive. What type of rock was that? seemed like it cut very easily when you sliced the core.

It was fairly soft compared to some of the others. Could be the blade as well. It's a Mikita 10" segmented blade. My original one is 4 years old, and still has about 60% of the diamond left on it. Use for work and have cut a lot of stuff with it. Highly recommended |

Took me a second to sort that out. Hilarious! Nice video. I guess you have a pin under your jig set at the diameter you desire? Could work for larger size as long as it doesn't hit the blade guard. Good thunking! |

That’s a cool jig. I do something similar to make cylinders for pandora beads.

Good thunking! I have a larger version that is adjustable from 4" to 9". Takes a lot longer to cut the preform, but ends up quite round. I'll try to make a sped up video or some picks of some larger finished performs as well. |

The material looked like a piece of silver sheen obsidian when you rotated it around after the preforming steps.
