I think I've found the solution for anyone who has been wanting to learn opal cutting but can't quite justify the cost of a full professional setup. This budget-friendly, 3D printed opal cutting machine by Wollemi takes rough opal all the way to a polished finished gem — and after testing it myself, I'm genuinely impressed by what it can do.
At around AUD$400–$450 for the full setup, this is a proper stepping stone into the world of opal cutting.
In this video I walk through everything you need to know — from how the diamond grit discs and cerium oxide polishing system work, to the built-in water feeder and drainage system that keeps the mess to a minimum. Check it out for yourself ⬇
