[@benjamindejonge3624]

I love the disk motor choice

[@caterpillar7575]

You have 1000 ideas for making and I have 3 ideas first how to make cheap and investment and marketing.i really enjoyed of your experience and expert and have full information (mechanical: electronic and cutting gemstone).you are best

[@thecrustyoldmachinist9384]

Thank you for all the work required to post these videos. If I ever decide to make a faceting machine, well, you know.

[@jefemueller423]

Its always a pleasure to watch your videos, Many thanks.

[@GemWorks]

Thanks, Jefe!

[@demal1245]

Hello, how to find plans for a machine like yours? thank you in advance

[@coolsupermario]

Nice! Watching your video is so satisfying...

[@MikeG-js1jt]

Could another head be retrofitted to this?... it looks like it could.... something like an ultratec v5 head? ............ either way, I'm totally impressed by your engineering of this machine

[@GemWorks]

Thanks! yes, another head could be used. however, it should be checked that it can be moved away from the lap far enough for the 90 degree position.

[@harmandhaliwal617]

Hey what kind of collet system did you go with did you have a link to purchase? I want to make my own machine also

[@celm5651]

Congratulations for the project and the great videos, I would like to know the model of the German engine from Baumuller, if you can pass the link of the model and technical specification I would be grateful.

[@GemWorks]

Thanks! The model of the Baumüller motor is GDM120 N, 24VDC, I=11,1A, n=1800 rpm, P=190W. - Not sure exactly which link to the specs works best for you. Here's a link to the PDF describing the series of Baumüller where this motor is in (German): www.baumueller.com/de/component/cck/?task=download&file=download_datei&id=353 . Alternatively use a search engine for other information.

Schade dass es keine neuen Videos mehr gibt. 😔

[@amrk1379]

great job thank you

[@frankwheat6333]

Hi there Frank here did measured the master lap left too right but did you measure the forward and back measurement of master or the flex of the mast while putting light pressure on the quill representing cutting or polishing also vertical axis of mast too the horizontal plain of the master disk left right in out then mast up and down for vertical good luck , so far it's a nice job looking good from Geelong Victoria Australia a faceter

[@GemWorks]

Hi Frank, thanks. Indeed, I didn't measure all possible deviations. However, moving the mast forward to backwards I did, though. And it looks similar to left/right. The mast definitely has a little flex, the lap on the outer diameter has, too. But that's something that I control very well during cutting. Greetings from Vienna, Austria

[@jmk3676]

Hi, I think I've been following your building process somewhere before. Everything seems very cool, great work! I would like to ask you what solution did you use for speed control? And is it possible to run the disk in both ways? I'm ok with building mechanical stuff, but so clumsy with electrics, so I'd like to have some simple solution :) Thanks so much!

[@Algoldprospecting]

Nice I made one out of a tile saw

[@RONUARTS]

todo un genio !! muchas gracias

[@MrALESCANDR]

Hello Gem Works! I have another question. As I have a faceting machine with analogue dial I would like to equip it with digital one, modify it. Which encoder sensor brand did you use?

[@naturalgemstones8633]

I have facetron faceting machine for sell

[@MrALESCANDR]

@@naturalgemstones8633 Thank you for the offer. I have one, thinking of building one by myself too

[@MrALESCANDR]

@@naturalgemstones8633 how much do you want for it?

[@gunnyaustria]

Eine tolle Eigenkonstruktion, arbeitet präzise und macht Freude.👍 Gibt es bald mal einen Peridot ?

[@GemWorks]

Dankeschön. Peridot kommt sicher wieder einmal einer irgendwann. Warum?

Hello Gem Works! Thank you for this interesting video. Do you sell our gemstones after you have them faceted?

[@GemWorks]

Hi! Thanks. Yes I do 🙂

[@MrALESCANDR]

@@GemWorks would it be possible to see your works?

[@GemWorks]

@@MrALESCANDR Yes, thanks for your interest. I do share my stones on Instagram: instagram.com/gemworksvienna/

[@problynevergonnause]

I'm jealous

[@ShapingSilver]

That looks super nice! What a lot of work you have put into it. Have you tried cutting anything on it yet?

[@GemWorks]

Thanks a lot. Yes I did cut already some stones, e.g. instagram.com/p/ByHh7tAI5u1/ or other recent stones shown in my Instagram feed. I'm very happy with the machine!

[@ShapingSilver]

Very nice stones on Instagram. What are they made for?

[@GemWorks]

@@ShapingSilver There's mostly no specific intended use. I just aim to get the nicest result out of a piece of rough. For sure I don't lock them away once cutting is done 🙂.

[@MikeG-js1jt]

are you selling these or their sections?

[@GemWorks]

Sorry, no I don't

[@irfanmehmood3352]

This is all so brilliant! What motor are you using to control he cutting angle ? Any link for that motor ? Thanks

[@GemWorks]

A motor is only used for turning the lap 😉. The faceting angle is tracked with a rotary encoder sensor, which you easily find via google. Also when reaching the target angle, a simple touch sensor is indicating that. More details in my other videos! KR

[@irfanmehmood3352]

@@GemWorks Thanks for the explanation. Wish you all the best and hope to see more upgrades :)

Hello can I know this machine price ?

[@GemWorks]

No, this machine is not for sale. I built one piece and this is the one I'm using :-)

[@gamingwithjadoon2.042]

What is the.name.of this machine and what is price

[@GemWorks]

name is "Compact Faceting Machine". it's not to be sold

[@norbertmambo4385]

@@GemWorks on buy request, how much $$ can you charge for a similar machine?

[@GemWorks]

That is not an easy question. I'd say the range is between € 1.500 and € 5.000. Depending, if well and accurately constructed.

[@norbertmambo4385]

@@GemWorks €5K is slightly more expensive than a brand new Ultratech V5. All in all your machine is a good DIY project & worth it's respect. Cheers man!

Very Nice machine!!!! Congrats!!!! Can you help me? Can you tell me exactly the name of motor? Usually it's in the label! Many thanks and I will follow you on Instagram!

[@GemWorks]

Thanks a lot Marco! It's a Baumüller GDM 120 N - 528/0750 Scheibenläufermotor (Pancake motor) 190W 1800rpm 24VDC. But attention, a new one is expensive! Keep your eyes open on second hand platforms, they are rare, but appear then and when. Cheers, Peter

[@mark1618phi]

@@GemWorks thats perpect!!! Do you know How much is? Medium price? Platforms as eBay? Or other platforms?

[@GemWorks]

@@mark1618phi Indeed I found one on ebay recently, but it can take a few weeks. I saw prices between EUR 100 and 200. The price of a new one i don't know, but I guess more than 500. good luck!

[@mark1618phi]

Thanks a lot! I found on eBay, but the design was different, it was bigger than yours. But, I will keep attention on eBay! When I finish my machine I will send the pic for you from Instagram! Thanks for your assistance, and congrats for your job!

[@GemWorks]

@@mark1618phi Right, there are many different types of Baumüller motors, but you should stick to the one proposed. Really Looking forward to see your results! KR, Peter
