With the blade I was using in this video, yes it is a bit more dangerous but generally with a normal smooth diamond blade there is very little danger. I've been doing it so long I know how to cut using the tile saw. I teach my boys the proper technique. Thanks for watching!

@grantfahlman1815 3 жыл бұрын

Jason, very nice. Have you polished any of those in the past and, if so, do they take a consistent, even polish across the surface?

@RockhoundingLife 3 жыл бұрын

I polished the purple amethyst nodule and it took a great polish over the amethyst surface. It was a little less consistent over the white material which i think is zeolite so it made sense. The zeolites take an pretty good polish but not as good as chalcedony.
