Most Inexpensive glass facet machine

[Megan_in_BK]

I would really like to get a machine to facet my glass. They all seems crazy expensive. Anyone know of a cheap one?

Thanks!

There was just a thread on this like a week ago. Doug and HWC put in all kinds of great info. Type "faceting machine" into the search bar, and you should find it.

nice one kurt! what if you alreeady have a flat lap, would it just be essentially mounting the lap and jam peg facteter to a sturdy frame ? if i had a list of things i wanted, a faceter would probably not be on it, but i'm curious as i already seem to have some of the goods. thanks for posting !
