Hi Ron,

    I sure do agree with you that using a Foredom to cut  stones is a
    viably technique. When I started making jewelry in 1973 that  was the
    only way I had to cut cabs and inlay stones. I made a lot of inlay 
    and cab jewelry using the Foredom process. The process is very time 
    consuming but saves buying a major rock polisher when money is short.

    I put the paper together several months ago when someone  asked my to
    describe the process.
