[QUOTE="Greybeard, post: 284685, member: 8412"] Update on that old faceting machine I posted about. This is the first stone (CZ) and it's not good. Facets don't all meet. Something went wrong with the girdle and the culet broke off when taking it from the dop. I left the girdle thick on purpose to give me a bit of play room. But hey, I'm a beginner and I learnt a lot. A couple more stones and I should be able to sort out if it's the machine or me. Sorry, iPhone photos and bad light. Stone actually has plenty of light and looks better than the photo.
