[Jewelry making - Article 00320] - [Orchid] Retipping using laser welder

    To all you laser welders out there, I finally was able to come to
    terms that the laser welder is primarily not going to damage
    diamonds when retipping.  I have been really pleased on how easy it
    is to retip ( on diamonds), but you have no room for error on other
    stones.  I have experimented with pulse shapping(left high--right
    tappers low) which seems to direct the laser towards the prong.  Has
    anyone mastered the retip and if so please share your knowledge.  It
    will be greatly appriciated.
