[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 437905, member: 3008"] That's what I'm saying. The maths don't work with the cost of that type of machine. It's more profitable to pay a school kid a cheese sandwich to cut the stone than to pay for the maintenance and investment costs on a $100K machine and risk the machine ruining a $10K stone. Yes it will get cheaper but not any day soon. The diamond market will collapse before that with created diamond prices becoming lower as it becomes easier to make of a good size. These automatic mass producing machines have been around for some time now. Jang is quite well known. Can't the dops be dipped automatically in to UV reactive glue? :playful: [/QUOTE]
