    Lee Epperson's article is wonderful. There was a warning from some
    gentleman about using the flexshaft on opal or other heat sensitive
    stones. I know many opal carvers who use the flexshaft--myself
    included. Foredom makes a clear plastic guard to fit over the
    handpiece. Opal carvers fit the guard with plastic tubing and attach
    a gravity flow drip bag (like those used in hospitals) works great
    and no heat build-up.
