[QUOTE="vonG, post: 312808, member: 9242"] Christian, you are probably right. I havent done the math behind it and the calculations you have given seems to be right. As long as you can alter the index by microns when polishing the gem, if the facet would needs that to be completely polished, then I guess index 14400 is what works. The error rate that you speak of and some other things is the reason why most automated faceting machines dont work. Or at least only give commercial cut gems. But I think you will figure out a way to battle those errors. :D [/QUOTE]
