Hey pdrake.
Like Paipo says, you really have to have water running constantly on handpiece burrs (& diamond burrs are the only way to go with stone!)
A very simple solution is to hold your work in a shallow dish of water & kind of work underwater, but tends to be very splashy... The simplest 'system' is to fill a large bucket with water & have a thin hose/tube fitted at the bottom (via rubber grommet) which you suspend 5-10 inches over your workstation... Thanks to gravity & a small hole (say, 1/4 inch tubing) there is just a steady dribble which should last a few hours. You then just take handpiece & work to the water... I like to work on a small wooden block, which doesnt mark the stone. If you can set all this up over a sink/tub is the best way -youll probably need some sort of splash-guard too...

Good luck! T3
