Please make more videos like this! In fact doing another full-on beginner series would be pretty cool.

I've been cutting for few years now and polishing is my Nemesis haha Thanks for sharing those technics, and hope to see you again in Lyon ;)

Awesome video! Thanks for the step by step tutorial this will help me (and probably others) tremedously!

❤ keep up the good work sir I’m learning as we go

Good morning Justin. I speak here from Brazil. I was born in the largest gemstone producing region in our country, in the State of Minas Gerais (city of Padre Paraíso). My late father was a great prospector and stone trader. Now that I have retired from the police (Investigating Inspector) I will go back to dedicating myself to my old job. If you want to hear good stories about real treasures, just let me know here.

Interesting.. I try this technik 👍🏻

many thanks Justin for this excellent vidéo,! i haven’t yet tried to set up a dual band so far but i will now try it in the coming days. cheers jma

Great idea and video. Thanx.

Excellent, thank you.

Great stuff

Great video Justin.  Thank you very much.  Thanks for doing a great explanation.

Awesome ❤❤❤

🙏🙏🙏

I will add what they really should be careful about lap contamination, if you people use some brush to spread water on your finer topper laps when you are making your facet surfaces smoother before polish, dont use synthetic hair brushes that are for applying synthetic latex paints... (better use more water dripping on lap and let it spread naturally by g force... it happened to me that i was starting getting scratches on my almost smooth facet surface and i wasnt able to figure it out but at one look i found my green hairs from a brush on the lap and they were making scratches as they have been slowly cut off on the diamond grit embeded in a topper lap, so be careful and dont use such brushes :)

Love this video. Can you make a video that has what it should sound like when the stone is on the lap in pre-polish and polish? If the lap is ringing or the stone is stuttering etc. thanks

Super explanation, thank you!
Can you use the dual-band system for cutting grits as well?

Hi hello would you recommend this technique if I’m using a vertical flat lap instead of horizontal? I have my doubts that this technique will contaminate my other grit , because it can drip 💧 to the bottom middle grit 🥲 do you think it’s posible In this vertical flat lap type machine?

Hey JKP, as always an ace video. Just curious, do you know of any companies that either do, or could, make a dual band sintered lap? So, something that cuts on the outside and pre-polishes on the inside? Thanks in advance!

Hi justin! I have a tin lap too but isnt tin laps toxic?
