Been wanting to learn faceting, but have had a hard time finding a machine. Came across this the other day, so decided to get it as it also has the dops, laps, design books, etc. Just need to replace the belt.
Picked this up while I was there also. Hoping to mount my buffer in it so my cabs don't go flying across the room when I lose my hold on them while buffing.

Getting ready for a trip, so will order the belt and some books to help learn from when I get back and start playing with it. I have several larger gem quality Burmese rubies I want faceted but have not found anyone I trust to do them. If I can get the hang of this I can do these and a few nice emeralds I have myself.

Nice! I recommend Amateur Gemstone Faceting by Tom Herbst to get you on your faceting adventure. This is volume 1. There is a volume 2 if you really get into it.
