OPERATIONAL DETAILS

The Gemstone is inserted and locked into the collet like cup which holds the stone firmly. The Girdle of the stone is then ground on the grinding wheel in accordance with the shape of the template used. The motor helps in rotating the grinding wheel. The forward and circular movements of the stone are to be carried out manually with the help of the handles provided for the purpose. The machine is ideal for shaping and calibrating Girdles of virtually all gemstones in almost all conceivable shapes. Different master templates are required for different shapes.

MAJOR ADVANTAGES

2. Easy to handle and operate the machine.
3. Hassel-free operations as the stones are not required to be dopped.
4. More yield from the same quantity of rough stones as most of the weight loss is primarily due to incorrect dopping of the stones – and this problem is saved in this machine – resulting in higher yield.
5. Faster & Economical operation – as the time and expenses involved in dopping the stones are saved
