Great video Justin, keep these videos coming.
Muito bom, belo equipamento, aqui no Brasil não temos representantes desta ferramenta, muito bom mesmo, meus parabens pelo video.
Hi Justin. I have an Imahashi machine. Bought it used a couple of years ago. I can't believe how exactly the same the Sterling machine is to the Imahashi. They copied it exactly.My hand piece does not have a cheater. By the way I really have enjoyed the programs that you and Vincent are doing together I am Vincent too..
Very helpful video, as I have been experiencing some uneven girdle line on faceting the first side of my stones. Found out later that my trunnion axis was off because of a loose nut. I would be interested in knowing the procedure you where talking about to balance the feet of your hand piece. Thanks again.
Hello Justin, forget about my question, I saw you already answered this question though a link to another video.
Great info
hi justin can you explaine or share your experiences about GERMANY production EDUS faceting head
Hello. I have not had good experience with the EDUS head. It looks amazing and has every feature but its extremely heavy and also poorly designed. Its quite easy for the head to get stuck when trying to cut the girdle because the metal piece of the back of the head hits the handle. Poor design. The later models called ALGE changed the design but lost some other features as well. For me its great as a collectible but not great to actually use. I recommend going with a sri lankan Handpiece if you're looking for one to buy. Its lighter, faster, and easier to use and easier to fine.
❤ thanks a lot sir..
Superbly learn
我是台灣人 請問你手上拿的那個磨鑽石的 1個多少錢
What is the price of this facet processing arm you are talking about? and where do we get it? an info a contact please?
I used both but facetors. The one with cheater is the best it save time. I have the 96 index one with cheater long time havent cut a stone on it but i am thinking to cut some rough stobes i have while we are in the lockdown here in London.
Agreed! Have fun in lockdown. Gem cutting is a great hobby for creatively passing the time
Great video! I noticed they offer two types of cheaters: threaded and worm-wheel. Have you also tried the worm-wheel? Do you believe one has an advantage over the other? Thanks!!
I’ve only tried the type seen in this video. I haven’t seen the other one in person so I can’t say much about it but I’ve been using this one for over a year now and I really love it. It works well, very intuitive, and not too sensitive so it’s easy to rotate the stone a microscopic amount which is exactly what I want.

Bagaimana cara pesannya.????
Hi, Thanks for your informative videos. Just wondering what faceting machines can you recommend to someone who wants to start precision gem cutting, within the following budgets? Also is it necessary to start working on a more manual (old school) approach before you get to a more digitized machine?
$100-$500, $500-$1500, $1500-5000. Thanks
Hello. Here is the list I recommend to all my students. There are a few small options for different budgets, but this is the list of things I use myself in my own studio, so it's not to meant to be a budget list, it just happens that my preferred list is budget friendly :)

Excellent. I am strongly considering making an investment into a handpiece-style faceting machine asap. Of course, I have to find a buyer for my old Graves mast-type first.
I know using a handpiece will be MUCH easier on my back and neck and it appears it can do as much as any mast-type faceting machine once one becomes competent with it.
You ever find a buyer for your graves?
I would agree. I made the switch a few years ago and loved it. This past month I cut a few stones on a mast machine to test it and was like OOOHHH YEEAH this is why I stopped using this machine. I have a video planned soon that is Handpiece vs mast machine. royal rumble.
Hey Justin - do you have any experience with Fables? They're even cheaper than the sterlings, but I also don't want to buy junk.
junk. seriously bad design. Impossible to cut tables with that Handpiece and its super heavy
Put paper under feet instead of adjusting the feet. I was doing when I was attending classes of gem cutting.
Yeah I do the same with different thickness and It works great
That works too but the cheater is more repeatable and varying. Good idea though!
Hi, do you know of any dealers that sell accessories for these? I'm currently struggling to order parts for one in a way that's legible for the representative.
Most faceting machine companies don't have dealers. If you want to order from Sterling just go directly to the company. They can ship international, you can wire them directly bank to bank, and they can send you an invoice.
Ive bin using blocks for height and a template attached to dop stick. Template cutting. would be nice to have hand piece to be more accurate with more facets
Maybe time for an upgrade?
Definitely. Just a hobby for now. addicting still. Got any sales connections in ontario that sell faceting machines
Its pure excitement cutting stones
@@theplumbingprospector9024 Unfortunately no. Im purchasing direct from the manufacturers but almost all of them can ship to Ontario
where to buy from germany or europe?? cant find anything...
You need to import them. This list might help though: medium.com/justin-k-prim/every-lapidary-supply-shop-in-the-world-76bfaff46668?source=collection_home---4------4-----------------------

how much this faceting head
About $300 or so from Sterling I think
Justin:
Great presentation.
I would like to add something to the feet vs cheater description. Cheater is great to compensate any error after stone transfer. HOWEVER when it comes to compensate a slight misalignment of a facet during polishing I use the feet for the simple reason that the cheater will give me different angle adjustment depending of the protractor angle. The closer the protractor angle is to zero the more I have to twist the cheater. At zero angle the cheater will not do a thing. With the feet I get a consistent angle adjustment.
About the angle cross talk when using the feet, I am in the habit to turn both feet opposite to each other by the same amount. It might sound like a waste of time, but once you are in the habit it is very quick.
Precio en dolares porfabor. ..
maybe around $350. not exactly sure
how much for a handpiece with cheaters?
I think it’s $350 or so
@@JustinKPrim where can i buy it?

How much sir.ngle
Around $300 I think
300 dolar sir?
@@8076besitowo I think so
There are two types of cheater faceters.
Moral of the story, use a good mast machine whenever possible
Huh? What does a mast machine have to do with these two hand pieces?
God after watching a few of his videos I wanna see the stones he cuts😂 why does he even waste his time cutting? Just buy some Bangkok stones and get over yourself dude
Your wish is my command: instagram.com/explore/tags/wizardgemcutter/
All the stones under #wizardgemcutter were cut by me.
