Entry Level Faceting Machine

If anyone is interested in an alternative to the very expensive
faceting machines out there, there is now a very much less expensive
alternative.

I have been developing such a machine for several months and have just
posted a picture of the faceting head to my web site. The lap is not
ready for pictures yet but the whole package will be priced under
$500.

You can take a look at what I have so far at

If you have a lap, the head as pictured is priced at $275.

Looks interesting, Jack. What materials are you using? I like the way you
name the parts (angle tweek). Who is Index Paul?
Just kidding.

I know a guy who designs cuts and writes articles for Lapidary Journal. If
you send me contact info, I'll pass it along to him when I see him. He might
be interested in giving it a 'shakedown' for you.

Jack,
That is impressive!!! I learned a lot reading your website. I may have to
give that a try one of these days (when I catch-up on some of my other
projects).

Good luck!!
