Spooner has gem cutting practice tables at SW 2317, 3243
when you cut a gem you can put the example up on the pole so you can see what you are trying to do
LENS CUT:
put gem on table ... turn it around looking for the side that is the smoothest
1. (S) cut to get the front side smooth - may take a couple of cuts (S)
2. (K x2) turn the gem around so you are now looking at the "back" side. Cut (S) the back until it is smooth and the piece is one layer thick
3. Trim (F) the corners - Roptate (L) so you do all four corners
NOTE: every other cut you get trimmed corner instead of a square corner
LOOKING GLASS:
I choose a side to grind flat
SS K - cut one face flat enough
S K - trim off irregularities
SSSS K - trim back side to one layer thick
SS U trim irregularities
S I trim to length
