[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 269751, member: 3008"] I think if I had the skills and half an idea of what to do. I too would build my own automatic faceting machine. And would have absolutely nothing to do with wanting to cut a truck load of stones. The enjoyment, for myself, would come from designing a machine that could do it and overcoming the hurdles along the way. At the moment I'm designing and building a digital readout because I want the challenge. I'm using a 3.5 inch colour touch screen where an LCD would do the same job, but I can add stuff that I don't need, rpm, movies, play a tune etc. It's actually on final build stage as proof of concept has been achieved to 0.02*. All because I can (I'm no electronics engineer(all self taught) - just a mechanic). That is the art and challenge, it's just not in paint or stone. Christian I am watching this with interest. I think the real work will start in designing the electronics and software. Enjoy :) [/QUOTE]
