Got my machine back, and it runs great! The motor is even quieter than it was before. This will be my first stone, a nice clean peridot that is 11mm x 9mm.

Ooh that's gonna cut a nice stone. I'm working on my first peridot, and it's horrible and packed full of inclusions, but I'd rather make mistakes on something cheap while I try a new material.

Yeah I hope it turns out nice. Looks like the picture submission piece is fixed for creating posts.
