Marble cufflinks

Perhaps a belt sander would have ground down the marble? That would have been my choice I think.

If you want to cut/grind down marbles you will want diamond disks of various grades with running water to keep the disks cool,clean and to keep the glass dust down.also need some thing to polish the glass if they are of the clear glass type of marble.cerium oxide on felt also with running water but not to much or it washes the cerium away.the best machine for doing this is a flat lap. hope this helps.

Thanks Tabby and Stu. Ive had one of your half marbles before and thats what inspired me.

If I find some lovely marbles, could you cut them for me?
