Hi Penny!

    What a coincidence. For about 15 years I have been looking at Dad's
    old "American Facetor" thinking one day I shall try and cut a stone
    and two weeks ago decided to give it a try. Fortunately my father
    kept all the paperwork neat and tidy. The instructions that came
    with the facetor itself are extremely brief but I found amongst the
    papers photocopied step by step instructions for cutting a brilliant
    cut quartz on this machine. Also it had good info on the different
    laps required etc etc. 

    All the other "recipes" for cutting various stones were collected
    from various Lapidary magazines though I am sure one could buy a
    book somewhere with plenty of these. 

    If you have no luck in getting good instructions I will be happy to
    photocopy enough to get you started and cut the first stone (like I
    did) and send it to you. It was excellent fun and though it would
    not pass inspection by an expert I proudly show it to anyone I think
    might be vaguely interested. 

    Contact me offline if you need to. Cheers and good luck, Renate in
    Adelaide, Australia where it is currently too cold altogether for my
    liking.
