can you apply teardrop and large eye shaped stones or just round ones

it has a flat tool you can apply heat to any shape stone. So yes it can apply odd shaped stones.

really don't know, it might but you can try a wt/dry sandpaper to flatten other stone

Oh yeah, any stone works. The diamonds are really really hard...go wet, much better overall.

Personally I have never applied it with stones in place. As I've mentioned before I like to heat the piece to ( a blowdryer works for me) so I guess if the stone can take the heat I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although I would definitely do a test piece first :-)

What is a stone? Do you mean rocks and minerals. Depends. Get some of all and see which one works for you. Kind of hard to answer that question when you say "stones" That sort of answer here is going to be highly qualified by the authors experience and by what they consider successful. If you follow our advise for a particular bit, you would be almost certain to not get the best bits for your application. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend some money experimenting. Small bits are pretty cheap anyway.

Hubby says that all the diamond tipped ones can be used on stone or glass. ( the granular embedded ones). Hope that can help you!! :.))

don't know if that is possible, but would imagine with the right equipment you could etch or engrave - fyi, they are glass, not crystal

I recommend the barrel or the round shaped burrs. You want as many diamonds touching the glass as possible.

This does not pick up the stones. Depending on the size of the stones, you have two choices. For larger stones, once the iron is heated you can place the stone in the tip, wait for the glue to melt (about 5-10 seconds) and then place it. Hold for a count of about 5 seconds. For very small stones, place them where you want them to go, and put the heated tip over the stone and hold it for a count of 10 to 12. For Swarovski stones, this is long enough to allow the small stones to adhere.

I suppose you can, but...you really should try the pebbles first. After dark, they look like a collection of boiling crystals. The only fear I would have about the rock is overheating, and the affect that would have. Good luck!

Probably not. Desiqned for larger pieces of stone more like tile ,coutertops etc

The distance between the scope and the platform is pretty close. I dont think it would be the good option for gemstone.

They are intended to be a single lot. They generally are all about they same hardness. It is best to use a range of sizes, where the smaller stones will help smooth and polish the larger stones surfaces.

Possibly with a very steady hand or if the gem is on a flat surface. I discarded the one I bought and bought a very high powered Jeweler's loupe. Good luck.

Yes. That and "needle point" (on that plastic mesh) are the only way we use them. The eyes are way too big for most beads.

Yes you can with the proper bit. I do wood with a carbide ball bit. I have not tried stone, so the choice of the correct bit will be the most important part. I would suggest a diamond abrasive bit of some sort.
