Hello Mate, to make the stone shine, it must be polished with aluminum oxide, but you surely knows it. have a nice fun with you'r machine, looks great. Have a nice day !!!
When you are running the machine you should be holding the quill gently, don't apply much pressure. But you gotta hold it on the lap or it will bounce.
Hey i have the same machine! I have also had to "upgrade" my machine as well. I have found out that the mounting point for my mast is flush, but the actual bottom of the mount is not so I ground that flush. I am now trying to figure out a keyed dopping method as I have had troubles in the polishing stage getting things lined up properly.

Wrong wax...😂 Not enough water supply. No diagram... destiny destroyed.😂😂
I ordered faceting wax. What should it be?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I saw a video where someone had a base that needed trimming. So far it seems to be the base.
Try two part epoxy instead of dop wax. The wax takes a lot of practice. The epoxy comes off with a bit of heat and a sharp edge.
Thanks. I'll try that.
Does your machine have adjustable speed?
Yes.
