This is a tutorial to cut opal with a dremel tool and it´s really low budget.
If you want to start cutting opals and you don´t have the money to buy a cabbing machine like cabking or gemmasta, this video may help you out.
I will take you through the full process from cutting a rough opal to a gemstone by using a dremel with diamond pazific nova points and polishing with cerium oxide.
Here´s a shortlist of the most important things you need:
- Dremel tool
- Wood to build the box and the board inside
- Foam
- Vise
- Waterdrip system and tank
- Splash protection
- Bright light
- Rough/coarse grinding Diamand Points (no idea about the right discription in english)
- Diamond Pazific Nova Points (grit 280, 600, 1200)
- Cerium Oxide
- Felt Points
- Dopwax and sticks
