- In this video i cut a piece of synthetic gem material in a hexagon shape.
I used a piece of material that im not sure of its exact composition. I do know its not quite as hard as quartz (7 MOHS ) but a little harder than say feldspar (MOHS 6 to 6.5. It could be a variety of synthetics on the market. Chrisitanite, lazerlite, nanositol, etc.
Synthetic materials are sold here: www.gemcutter.com
I use an ultra tec faceting machine . They can be purchased here:

Im also a member here in the united states of america of the US faceting guild. www.Usfacetersguild.org. I would encourage anyone who is interested in faceting to join the guild.

Thanks, i cant keep up with doing one a week anymore but still get at least one a month done.
Looks great. This machine is a dream!
Thanks santiago.
Beautiful cut, Brent. I really like that color. The demo of your depth-of-cut indicator was very nicely done. Good Job!!!
Thanks john, i like the color too, i would like to get more of that material.
Hi from New Zealand. How many hours did that take you? All your work fabulous.
Thank you very much, this one took about 6 to 7 hours.
Thank you for making these!
Show🙏❤️👏👏👏👏 parabéns!
Very nice. With that Color ,and the red flashing, this is in my opinion a synthetic tanzanite . Which is a 6-6.5 mohs . Right under quartz.
Its a gorgeous gem thats for sure. I think its my favorite of all the cz ive cut.
Very nice stone you did a great job. Is the meter you showed available from any supplier? I also use a Ultra tec machine.
Thanks, rc. Actually the meter is an old one from ebay. They were very well made and last a long time. They are easy to connect to an ultra tec. I did a short video once on it.
@@tennpikr74 Thanks I will watch ebay not sure what to look under.
@@gemfaceter Look for multi meter or ohm meter. Most made nowdays are digital but i like the old analog type with a needle that sweeps across . I think if you want one like i use look for vintage muti meter. The simpson ones are large and work well.
@@tennpikr74 Thank you so much!
Brent, how do you connect a meter to the UltraTec mast? I would assume there are meters like that available surplus somewhere?
Hi larry, if you can get on my facebook page, i posted a short video on how i connected it. This was back in april. You might have to become a facebook member im not sure. You can get these multi meters/ ohm meters on ebay.
My facebook member name is brent knowlton.
Very intersting video , can i know which kind of glue you use adn where i can buy it ? Bravo
5 minute epoxy glue from ebay
Do you use epoxy instead of wax to do the transfer because you might melt the wax from the first dopper if you used wax on both?
That is a major concern, also its just easier to use epoxy when transferring as you have the transfer jig to deal with . Although its not a big deal. I use epoxy for the first dopping at times when the stone material is heat sensitive.
have you ever cut any of the corundums?
Yes and ive made the most money cutting montana sapphires.
so in your case the meter is something you dont absolutely need because you have the digital angle reader? is that right?
Yes its not needed but can be helpful.
