That is the way I cut a round brilliant. That stone finished at 8.9mm and 2.78 carats.
eyyy youre back keep up the good work
What is the approx $ to buy the equipment to be able to do this caliber of craftsmanship. I'm considering taking this up as a profession. Thanks
Hey Matt, I am a new cutter, having cut 7 stones so far. I think I have watched every faceting video on RUclips. This video shows details that no one else has shown. thanks
where did you buy your machine? I am thinking of having a new hobby haha

Absolutely awesome tutorial. Your patients to explain each detail is evident in the end results. Thank you so much for sharing your passion of gem cutting.
Really nice job explaining the process and your completed gem.
Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!!
Thank you so much for your explanation of this project. It was a nice experience to share the details of the cutting process.
I’m a fairly new cutter and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You explained a lot that I never really understood so thank you. Hopefully you have many more of these videos. Take care of God bless
Love these videos, these are the type of videos I watch before I crash out.
I often use baking soda with super glue and was thinking of mentioning that to you while I watched the last video. I'm happy that this technique works for this purpose.
Thank you for the step by step, I'm waiting for my Faceting Machine to get in so I can start.
Don't stop making this quality content!

Hi
Congratulations on the good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Greetings straight from Brazil.

Bro..I binged your videos I need more lol... like alot more please
Brilliant thanks Matt.
I'm a newbie and will be trying my 1st faceting on Smokey crystals or zircons. The smokey has an RI of 1.54 so ideal. Thankyou.
Great Job!

"I cleaned the stone with acetone"
I thought you were going to start dropping bars for a second. XD
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
Cool and informational stuff. Great work.
Thank you for this great work.
And I wish you would provide me with a link to get a refiner like you have because I'm working on an inaccurate Chinese machine.
And thank you again for this wonderful and rare effort.
he's using an Ultra-Tec Classic Faceting Machine analog dial, it costs 4500 dollars
Thank you very much gud tecnich
This is a lot easier than I thought it would be. You explained it so well! Do you use those diagrams for every stone? Do you ever so any of them purely by eyesight alone? I'd imagine the diagrams are much preferred, even though you can gauge a lot by looking at it.
Making me want to start cutting again!
brilliant job , you are a master .
Wow wow wow wow wow 🎉 God it's beautiful God wow wow wowieee and you made a video too! You are a Master G thank you!
Thank you for doing this video. Attention to detail in every aspect of this sure helps a newbie! The pros skip over so many beginner things that we just do not get it. I am having a difficult time getting to the culet! I seem to be going round and round the stone until I am out of room for the crown. Think I need to watch a 3rd time to remember how to fix this. I have an older machine that seems a bit more mechanical. More feel than watching an indicator.
Here is a question for you. All my laps are different thicknesses, so every time I change the lap I must adjust the height, I spin until there is no contact then lower until it makes contact then do 1 turn down on the tower knob (facetron, 20 years old) how should this be done?
Hi. Just starting faceting myself when I came across this video. Regarding your culet issues. I had same problem with my first couple of stones. What worked for me was to first to preform my stone (round in this case) as close to round as possible using the 90 degree freewheel. Then I go about working the pavilion. And yes, your laps all all different thickness's so you will always adjust the height whenever you change laps. Just lower the adjuster head until the gem just kisses the lap.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
thanks you so much
Very very nice. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
What is the smallest stone that can be faceted on this machine? I found some garnets and sapphires but they are around 3mm and I wonder if I can use such machine to facet them in a convenient way?
Fantastic explanation
Good video. Worth a like and subscribe 😁
Cuting Dimand circuit diagram
ths alot of good info
😅learn a lot, thanks
Kalau akun youtube "watu atos" beliau tidak perlu pakai penggaris ukur atau mesin yang memadai, hanya memakai ukuran mata tetapi hasil nya luar biasa
I am very interested in this type of craft but i'm unsure where to start with trying it, is it best to get a cheap machine and some synthetic or cheap crystals or is it better to go full in on the theory first before getting started with any cutting?
❤️TWO THUMBS UP❤️❤️❤️
Are the lap discs all the same thickness or do you have to adjust for the variances? Great information. Beautiful job!!
They are all different thicknesses. The mast height is adjusted when changing laps, lowering the stone to lightly touch the lap.
Hi very good
excellent ❤
Sankyuo tell us about this oil and blak
I have three stones that I would like cut, not sure what they are. Found them at the crater of diamonds. Might be some kind of volcanic glass
For a beginner, what would you recommend for a faceting machine?
What type of lab you use to polish?
How do you not file your fingers away? Genuine question
I'm a professional gemstone cutter in sri lanka(ceylon).i can make cuts such as drop,oval,round,heart,cushion,emerald and octagon like that.i want to know which country you are from?
Hey, i'm new to facetting, how do you decide which mast hight you chose at the beginning of the prozess? Because when its to low, i would grind away so much stone, but when its to high i wouldn't geht a nice center. Sorry if you mentioned it, englisch is not my native language 😅
Love the vids where did you by your set up
What is your cutting too called
Make more videos bro~
AMAZING...
How much can you sell it for? I want to know.
What is the machine you are using?
he's using an Ultra-Tec Classic Faceting Machine analog dial, it costs 4500 dollars
What is the total time from start to finish?
Ok
👍💎💯🎯👌👏👏👏👏
I worry for your fingers
Hi Matt hello from France !
I started cutting like 1week ago and i have already done some stone and my polish on stone is more like ice freezy , we don't see throught .
Do u think its because of my polishing step on my copper lap with a 10k diamond paste / oil which is too big grit ?
Btw i'm waiting to receive a 60k diamond powder , do u think with the same copper lap and this powder the polish gonna be a lot more mirror clean see through ?
If yes ,
Do u think i stop using my 3000 grit topper diamond lap for prepolish and just prepolish with copper lap and the 10k diamond paste and switch to final polish on same copper lap with the 60k powder ?
Thx for your responses !
