It is important to first evaluate the qualities of various machines before deciding which features will be most beneficial for your faceting experience. There are many things you need to consider.
Qualities Before we get to the machines, let us define each of these characteristics: repeatability, reliability, speed, accuracy, cost, and availability.
Repeatability This means that you can cut the same stone every time. This means that you don't need to reinvent the wheel every round brilliant. It's also a sign of repeatability that there is a reference point to guide you in your cutting.
Reliability You can expect to still have a machine that works in one year, five years or ten years after you have purchased a new machine. And, hopefully, twenty years. Faceting machines can last for a very long time if they are well maintained. Also, reliability includes accuracy over the lifetime of the machine as well as its accessories. Speed This is how fast you cut a stone. Comparing faceting machines will show that speed and accuracy are the most difficult aspects. Accuracy This is how efficient the jewelry polishing machine can cut perfect stones. Faceting machines are necessary because making straight faces in a rock while holding it in your hand is extremely difficult. Cost Cost will be a key deciding factor, along with speed and accuracy. Cost tells you how much we will have to spend on a new machine including shipping costs and accessories. Accessibility The gem faceting machine that was invented cannot be purchased anymore because it's no longer produced. This will impact your decision as buying used machines carries a higher risk than buying new. We'll assume that you're purchasing a brand-new machine from the manufacturer in almost all examples. © 2022 shangbeikouAuthor's Note
