Core Drilling Sphere Preforms using the Highland Park Lapidary Core Drill

In this video, we show you how we core drill sphere preforms using the large Highland Park Lapidary core drill. This will give you a good overview of the process. NOTE - AT NO TIME WHEN RUNNING A CORE DRILL ATTEMPT TO HOLD THE STONE BY HAND. IN THE VIDEO WE STABILIZE THE CORE USING A VERY LONG SCREWDRIVER WHICH YOU CANNOT SEE BEHIND THE SPRAY GUARD.

Really appreciate you taking the time ti show how this is done at this scale. Looks like a lot of fun, almost as much fun as hunting up great stone!

Any chance we can get a shot of your jig on the second drill? it's not terribly clear what is happening there.
