[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 81256, member: 157"] G'day Daez, the machine appears to be a "lilypad" design hence no index wheel and angle adjustments. The changes in angle is achieved by raising and lowering the "pad" There are often several different hand pieces with different shapes on them traditionally 4,5,6,8 & 12 sided which are used for the different shapes of the cut stone . These type of machines are often used in commercial cutting in 3rd world countries producing "native cut stones" - Google Lilypad faceting machines for more info - a modern lilypad machine is the Imahashi faceting machine. There are lots of cutters out there that prefer these types of machines to the post & mast machines. Looks like you've got yourself a piece of history! :) [/QUOTE]
