Here’s a diamond, I’m making heaps of silly mistakes, clearly misunderstanding some geometry and process, and there’s still plenty of things to sure up, but shaping something in minutes rather than hours feels like it could be progress.

I'm trying a new method to sharpen tungsten, this is the 0.9mm tip ground to 10 000 grit. It's essentially practice for sharpening diamonds at this point (ha)
It's requiring about 1/3rd of the weight I was previously using to emboss, I'm assuming that's because it's much sharper. Seems to be getting up to 14khz, but I'm running cuts for everything above that

Had to share this photo of 's blue 7" lathe cut cause the color combo is so good!
The ordering cart is down at the moment but I'm working on a few website changes - if you're interested in ordering please send me a message - I should be opening up for international orders soon, along with getting some samples up. I think I'm close to be done with any changes to the embossing process. I am working on moving into cutting with diamond but I think that's going to be a little bit of a process.
