Hello Orchidians,

    What I use to put a" bright cut" in the inside of tube settings (
    collets ) or flush set stones is a small (very ) burnisher that I
    gradually work around the tube or flush set stone  Pressure is
    directed out. with a slow circular motion adding some pressure as I
    proceed. The early passes serve to create a path for the later passes
    of the tool ( I use another method for color.) This has done the
    trick for me. I high polish the tool and have had very clean
    results.I hope this will help. 

Peace Karl
