Feedback request. Dichro and Opal FX blanks that I've made.

Russianwolf · Jan 5, 2013

If you have received and turned either Dichroic or Opal FX (Liquid Rainbow) blanks that I have made I'd like to get some feedback on how they turn and if you have any thoughts on improvements.

The resin is not PR or Alumilite so it acts a bit different and I've had less chippiness than with PR.

Ive turned one so far Mike with another on the "to do list". It turned a little harder than Im used to but with no problems. I just took lighter cuts. I had to resharpen a couple times and hold back from really digging in, like im used to with PR, but but it sanded and shined up real nice and the end results were great. The Dichroic blank is beautiful.

I tried your website (looking for pics of the dichroic), Mike, but none of the links worked. Planned?
