Tailings

Exciting news for those of you who are looking for a precise and repeatable way to drill small holes in your favorite stones. The Club is purchasing a drilling device from Günther Diamond Tools along with 2.5mm size drill bits for that precision work. The drill is imported from Germany so check back later on when we expect to have it in house and ready for use.

The tool will be owned by the club and we will be selling the drill bits to each member who would like to drill holes in their rocks. These are specialty drill bits and are the only ones that will work with this tool. There will be training for Club members who wish to use the drill.
