I just came across this Opal cutting device online via a video. basically its a flat lap, but you cut from below and the rotation speed of the special disk allows you to see what you are cutting.
I think its terrific idea, has anyone used these?

Re: Jool Tool
I've seen some of the Jool Tool products advertised, but haven't seen them used or tried them yet. Let us know if you find out more.

Re: Jool Tool
I don't understand how that is any better? Maybe for a novice but I see it as a gimmick.... I also saw where you can use it to polish jewelry, etc... meh!
I learned on flat laps first, then genie... I still do all my final polish on my old gemmaker flat laps. In my opinion, I think it's just gimmicky.

I've heard good reviews but they're expensive

Remember, it's not the cost of the tool, it's how you use it!
