[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 123866, member: 157"] G'day Twapster, there is currently a 2nd hand Gemmasta on Gumtree at the moment [url]http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/salisbury-east/miscellaneous-goods/facetting-machine/1066180875[/url] The owner is an experienced facetor and AFLACA judge who has had a number of his designs used for National and International competitions, he is a very meticulous cutter and is fastidious with his machinery - The machine might be worth a look. I've just ordered another Gemmasta for one of the Clubs I belong to. They are a proven machine and as the club has several other Gemmasta's and the quills are interchangeable are ideal for club use. (also they are made here in S.A. so servicing is easy for us.) Don't dismiss other Australian machines including the VJ (also it has a digital protractor) and the Unamit machine designed by Laurie Hall. My recommendation before buying a machine is to join a gemclub to learn faceting then look for a machine. Cheers [/QUOTE]
