Faceting Machines

FEATURES:

• The machine is powered by a direct-drive 220 watt brushless DC (BLDC) motor. BLDC motors are the highest-standard DC motors popular for their long life and precise speed control. The motor offers variable speeds up to 3000 RPM.
• Accurate angle adjustment with a clear indicator and a precision of 1 decimal place.
• Convenient and quick index adjustment. The design allows changing of index quickly with single-handed use. This makes faceting and polishing fast and convenient. The machine comes with a 96 indexing gear installed and a spare 72 indexing gear.
• A cheater adjustment wheel is provided in the facetor for those fine adjustments to the index, sometimes necessary to produce perfect facets.
• The base plate is an 8mm thick sturdy and finely ground industrial-grade fabricated Aluminium. So you can be assured the machine is mounted on a steady base.
• Doping is fast and precise. The machine comes with a set of brass dop sticks that are keyed. Therefore, they are locked in the doping chuck in the exact position every time.
• The indicator dial indicates whether the stone has been cut at the exact angle. The dial indicator reading will show a non-zero reading if the angle of cut on the stone is different from the machine’s angle. A zero reading indicates a perfect angled cut is achieved. This comes in quite handy especially if you are a beginner.
• The mast can be loosened, moved, and tightened easily. Its ground finished so the faceting unit can be moved up and down smoothly. It is equipped with a fine height adjustment knob on top.
• The machine is equipped with a drip water system with an adjustable hose and flow control. 
• The machine comes with a white light powerful LED lamp with an adjustable gooseneck.
• Cutting & polishing the girdle is super easy on the machine. Also, the facetor comes with a setting for free rotation. This is very handy for making smooth round girdles.
• Cutting & polishing the table of the stone can be easily done using a 45-degree adapter that comes with the machine. The adapter essentially reduces 45 degrees from the reading on the angle indicator of the machine. Therefore, to achieve a 0-degree angle (which is required to make the table), the machine can be set at 45 degrees while using the 45-degree adapter.
• A water drainage outlet is provisioned on the side of the base. Water drains from the bottom of the splash guard to this outlet.

Features:

• The motor is isolated from the faceting unit and rotation of the laps is facilitated using a belt between the motor and the faceting unit via an idler pulley and 2 step pulleys (one below each splash guard).
• The idler pulley can be used for tightening the belt. The motor plate can also be moved in and out for this purpose.
• The 2 step pulleys have multiple steps of different diameters that are used to control the rotation speed.
• The facetor unit consists of a metal handpiece (with a rubber grip) that comes with an indexing gear at its end and 3 D-blocks for angle adjustment. Each of these D-blocks has an angle protractor that can be locked at different angles at which the stone has to be cut and polished. These are made of high-quality Bronze and Brass components. 
• Angle adjustment on the protractor of the D-block is easy and precise. It comes with divisions of 1° from 0-90, allowing the stone to become completely horizontal or vertical with respect to the lap. 
• The facetor unit is mounted on a vertical mast and can be moved up or down for height adjustment or even lifted off entirely for setting-up or inspection.
• The mast can be moved in and out towards the laps (and fixed, once done) to change the position where the gemstone should be applied on the lap.
• The facetor handpiece can be easily moved from one lap to the other. The movement is smooth and facilitated by ball bearings.
• The indexing method for the facetor is simple. The indexing gear comes with a standard 64 divisions (can be 96 divisions if requested) to control the position of facets on the stone and can be adjusted to achieve different shapes.
• The motor and faceting unit is mounted on a heavy base made of cast iron with zinc-coated steel legs and rubber grips to ensure stability and balance during rotation, which is very important to get precise results. 
• Both splash guards are removable. This can come in handy when faceting and polishing the girdle of the stone. The stone can be applied purely horizontally to the laps in this case.
• A separate table polisher is installed around the polishing splash guard for polishing the table for your stone. 
• The machine has a compact form factor which makes it portable and easy to use. 

Accessories supplied with the machine:

• 1 Pc. 6" Copper polishing lap
• 1 Pc. 8" Diamond polishing lap (#600)
• 1 Pc. Aluminum master lap for backing the diamond lap.
• 150 Pcs. Metal Dop sticks (75 for Crown side + 75 for Pavilion side)
• 1 Pc. Facetor (Consists of a metal handpiece with an indexing gear and 3 D-blocks)
• 1 Pc. Dop transfer jig for transferring the stone from pavilion side to the crown side and vice versa
• 1 Pc. Table polisher
• 2 Pc. 25 Ct. Diamond Powder Pack (#14000 and #8000)

Working:

• The gemstone is attached to the dop stick of the facetor handpiece with the help of a glue. You can choose to either do the pavilion side or the crown side first. Attach the stone accordingly.
• The other end of the facetor handpiece has an indexing gear. This end is placed and locked on any of the D-blocks set at the desired angle.
• Once the dop stick is set up with a gemstone and placed on a D-block with the desired angle, the gem can be applied to the rotating grinding lap for faceting.
• The indexing gear can be rotated and set at different values to work on different facets.
• The handpiece can be transferred to a different angled D-block and the same process can be repeated to get different-angled facets if required.
• After faceting is complete, the handpiece can be moved to the polishing lap and the same process can be repeated for polishing your stone.
• Once you have completed faceting and polishing either the pavilion side or the crown side of the stone, use the transfer jig provided to change the orientation of the stone for faceting and polishing the other side.
• Once the stone is attached using transfer jig, repeat the above process.

Advantages over other machines:

• It is a solid value-for-money gem faceting machine that doesn't compromise on functionality and quality.
• It is the most versatile gem faceting and polishing machine that takes care of almost every aspect of faceting and polishing of gemstone.

WORKING GUIDE:

• The saw requires the stone to be fed by hand. You must ensure that your vision is in a direct line with the saw blade to know if you’re feeding the stone straight. You can put a mark on the area where the stone needs to be cut for cutting perfectly. This marked line should be put straight with the cutting blade.
• It’s generally advised to wear glasses or face shield, apron, and gloves for safety precautions while working with the machine.
• It is critical to select suitable and appropriate saw blades to meet the required cutting results. You may explore diamond sawblades here.
• It is necessary to select the right grit lap for getting the grinding job perfectly done on the machine. You may explore our diamond laps here
• The machine should be cleaned regularly to remove sawdust or any other particles. The tray around the blade should also be kept clean of any debris as it can result in deflecting the stone.
• Allow the saw blade on the to cut steadily. It means that the cutting should not be forced with high pressure.
• Whenever you’re grinding, pressure or force should not be applied on the lap. The process of grinding should be steady and smooth. Otherwise, it may slow down the rotation speed of the lap and as a result, may lead to flat spots on the stone.
• As a safety measure, the power supply is disconnected before changing the saw blade or the grinding lap on the machine.
• If you’re a beginner, then it is advised to mount the stone onto a dop stick for fine and safe grinding operation. However, if you prefer using your hand then it’s recommended to hold your gemstone with the first four fingers of the dominant hand. This will allow you to have more control while grinding.
