• Hold your work firmly at all times. Use a wooden board to back your jewelry piece. 
• Use a little pressure against wheel. 
• Always hold work below center of wheel.
• Move your piece constantly and buff and polish your piece different directions to avoid grooves in your work.  
• Never take your eyes OFF work for an instant.
