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
