========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Asa, In times long past and today in many small cutting shops in undeveloped countries, faceting is done with "jamb peg" faceting machines. Check out the term in the Orchid archives . There are a number of articles and discussions available through "Google" or other search engines. If you're handy with tools you can build one yourself. For that matter facetors have been building their own machines for many years. I would suggest getting the book "Gem Cutting, a Lapidary's Manual" by John Sinkankas. It's probably out of print now but well worth having if you can find one. I don't know if you can get Lapidary Journal articles this far back, but Sinkankas lists their article by R.A. Beall in volume 33, no. 12 1980, pp.2588-2591 as one which tells how to make a simple low cost but effective faceting machine. There a many more. Good luck!
