How to polish rocks easily with a tile saw and sander
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).
I first saw this style of polishing on Kevin nix's channel, please check out his beautiful work at the link below:
