I haven't cut a rock in months,  this grossular garnet is slow slow cutting.
Even with a fresh dressing on the blade.
Either that our is super hard,  I've never worked any of it.

guide shafts for the vise that slide in and out loosened causing the rock to start cutting in an angle, had to reset them, tighten again and make a new primary cut.
sucks.

The garnet can be a bit harder than quartz but not much.
