 After
you dial in the desired angle on the digital
protractor of the Facetron, the new dial indicator stop system shows you the exact stopping point. The dial indicator stop system consists of a new hard stop and dial indicator for dependable and accurate depth of cuts. You have three options. you can use dial indicator as dial stop only, hard stop only or both. The dial indicator resolution is .0005 of inch increments. |
 Micro-height
Adjustment makes it easy to go back to any facet after the
dop has been removed from the dop chuck. No numbers to write down. It's
quick and simple. This feature is particularly helpful in production faceting
or when sharing your machine. The Facetron can roll back to any facet by
setting the angle the stone was cut at on the digital protractor and
reading the dial indicator. |
 Two
Quart Water Coolant System keeps your lap clear and stone cool so
as not to damage either. It's easy to refill, and is fully positionable
on the lap. The control valve is conveniently located away from the spout. |

Sealed bearings provide maximum life and dependability to the platen. The motor mount swivels to accommodate belt tension adjustments. |
| Urethane Splash Bowl with Padded Lap Nut prevents accidental damage of precious stones. The spent cooling water conveniently drains through the bottom of the base. | The Base is 12" x 18" x half inch cast aluminum, Blanchard ground to be absolutely flat. This provides you with the confidence that your machine is mounted on a steady base. Also included is a genuine oak veneer base to highlight this fine precision instrument. |

makes other machines things of the past. |
