Using Power Tools To Cut And Polish Rocks

This weeks video is me basically showing my first attempt at polishing some of the rocks I've collected while Rockhounding using an orbital sander/polisher and diamond polishing disks. As I polish I explain how I've learnt, and am still learning how to polish my agates, rhyolite and orbicular/spherical rhyolite for the first time using these polishing tools.

Tools and adapters used:
-Wet tile saw (I use a Clipper) with a diamond impregnated continuous blade.
-Diamond polishing pads (which can be found fairly cheap by searching on Ebay)
Grits - 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 & 3000. *these must be used at an RPM no greater than 3000RPM.
-Variable speed orbital sander/polisher (I use an Ozito one but any will do as long as its variable speed, and set to the specifications of the polishing pads).
