Any of you guys still local to the mount?

Hey guys my name is Michael and I've been heavily invested in fossicking and collecting for the better part of my 31 years. I'm hooked, I just can't help it. Coins gems, anything with actual value over face or when it comes to sapphire seeing exactly what you can pull out of it, so envious of...

I was compelled towards an Australian purchase that being a VJ you are the only the sec9nd to fault it. I have done alot of research so far and I'm accepting of any input I can get. Are you saying a VJ is a bad option for precise and repeatable quality cutting because of the curvature of the VJ...

Well I am looking for something that is worth the purchase, meets my requirements and is available within 6 months or so of order. As far as I have pspoken to anyone who cuts that is experienced with more than one machine only one person said a VJ wasn't a good investment. The turnaround on them...

I'd pay the price but I decided to go digital apparently someone paidv4k for the lot. I'm so glad it wasn't me! Could of been that or close had I not asked around.

I replied while you were posting I'm using the best accuracy tools I can so I can be sure that while learning I can try the by ear method with the right amount of time invested I'm sure it will be worth it. I'll treat it well and then if there is some big development I can look into it then but...

So I've decided to work on my Gaa diploma further and save a bit more for a new digital VJ premier. They seem to be one of the more highly recommended machines that has digital readouts. I can buy some literature and learn about it while I wait for completion of the machine and finish up...

Thanks for all the information so far . I'm starting to look at new machines so I have no gamble in the purchase. And I want some digital readout too I've seen some as far as depth of cut monitors alongside highly modded machines with from,angle and depth for less than what I have looked at. I...

Thanks I mean both are amazing deals but at the moment I have to weigh up new vs old and how much can break in shipping plus how to package it safely for interstate transporting cause I'm currently in mount morgan central queensland. Way too far to drive to either listings. I'll keep you up to date

I looked around and they are 3400ish new you can get one directly from cairns. It has a small amount of unknown stone some cut some rough apparently everything that came with it. Some magazines and books and a lot of facet diagrams and 20 discs a couple of metal and rest plastic from what I've...

So I should probably drop the idea without any kind of refund available or I've even looked at facetron and ultra tec and vj with dad and they seem to be as good as you can go. Do I save more and go new with warranty or risk the unknown second hand machine and 3ish boxes of unknown magazines and...

Thanks for the all the info I'm still a bit concerned I have been looking at it a lot and the seller is on the other side of the country so I have about 30 kg of shipping on top of the price. It do e s come with a few things but I never saw any photos of laps with it and again I could get it new...

Hey to start I'm gonna say I have only cabbed one stone in my life but I'm an avid sapphire and gold prospector in central queensland. Ive just started my diploma in gemology and want to start faceting. I have a good lead on a very new halls xtra and it's under 2 years old. Do I take the risk on...
