[QUOTE="shivan, post: 310182, member: 194"] I have just started doing a bit of faceting within the last year, i started on a home made unit which was cheap. It had a lot of flaws but let me have a go at some basics and gave me an idea of what i was getting into. I am now using a second hand ultratec V2, it has a lot more precision than the home made unit and i am happy with it, for what i paid for it. But unless you are buying second hand i believe these can be expensive new as they are manufactured in the USA. Most of the people at our lapidary club seem to use gemmasters, these seem to have a good reputation but can be long waiting periods for orders and parts from my understanding. Check out this thread if you are thinking of buying new. [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20952[/url] [/QUOTE]
