Hello, I just bought a Faceting machine to cut at home instead of going to a club. I need some laps. What would be the perfect set of laps to cut and polish every stone? Grits, oxides, brand, website?

Thanks!

I have experience faceting and cutting cabochons, but have never carved stones. I have this very nice piece of Welo opal, but because of the shape, I would loose too much by cutting it on a cabbing machine. How do people carve and people freeform opals? What tools should I use?
