When cool, the pot is screwed into the larger piece next to the box. The rock or faced piece to be cut is placed in the appropriate cup of wax, and the dop pot turned off to cool. These are used by melting dop wax in one of the 3 cups on the right. This one just happened to be NOS, still in the box with original instructions.
