[QUOTE="Nena, post: 312971, member: 7861"] I have a simple calculation that i found out by mistake :D It uses the mid point from the stone and the angle and with the cosines from those two i can exactly plan my depth of cutting the stone. Machines are expensive here in the Netherlands as well at your place. My dad has build his own for faceting but he have buyed a saw new. And the saw was 1200 euro's that time. (2500 Gilders/Floryn). I also need to build one. I can get his faceting machine but i wont, too mutch error in it lol hehehe but he did make good stones on that machine! About vertically cutting, For automatic faceting it is easyer to cut vertically becourse you dont have to control the Z axis ;- ) And you have more stiffness to the machine! My machine wil be around 1000x600x600mm And ill use most of it like 300x600x600 :D Dont have to move the head everytime 990mm to the left and right! :D LOL [/QUOTE]
