One more question..... the press is a 5 speed 750-3050 I think it was. What is your recommended speed setting. I have it on the slowest thinking it would prevent heat build up but maybe that's part of why I'm having blow outs. I went at it for quite a while yesterday and had much greater success going in from both sides.... need to work on my lining up but there's a tool for that I'll pick up over the weekend. I'm drilling thru my feldspar that I've been working on for over a month now, it's hit or miss and after taking a close look at the blow outs I think the stones cleavage might be a factor here. Really appreciate all the advice so far, it's good to have options for different materials and I'm definitely getting my practice in on these hand picked stones before I go out and purchase stones to drill thru and potentially waste money Yes, cleavage planes in feldspar are a big factor in causing your blowouts.
