FACETING
MACHINES

You can cut and polish your own gemstones
with these machines

We highly recommend the Facetron.
However, if you insist, we also can provide you with
other name brand faceting machines that will also perform well.





FACETRON*
FACETING MACHINE

"We believe this is the best,
easiest, fastest faceting machine
to work with for the price."
Jack Slevkoff

It has the following special features:

Digital Reader
  1. Angle Indicator is a Digital Readout that is easy to set, readable, and repeatable. It has been suggested that the mechanics of this system makes it equivalent to a 4 foot radial arc (48-inch protractor).
  2. Electronic Speed Control with smooth continuous adjustments from 1 to 1600 RPM.
  3. Clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the lap at the flick of a Switch.
  4. Exclusive Pressure Sensor gives you direct visualization of pressure exerted on the dop arm to assure uniform facets. The Sensor Needle shows you the exact stopping point. This guarantees perfect symmetry. Imagine a .0005 inch resolution right before your eyes. Now it's easy to anticipate the stopping point when cutting each facet. It lets you see the rate and depth of cut as you work.
  5. Acculign Index System consists of precision index wheels and a conveniently located index lever with freewheeling provisions for preforming, rounding a girdle, or quick inspection of the stone being cut.
  6. Acculign Dop Chuck with exclusive Cam Lock System (not a jam-nut-collet or set screw)has no slippage with its positive locking action that provides the freedom to remove or replace Keyed Dops with perfect orientation and without having to make adjustments for realigning the stone for cutting.
  7. Acculign Transfer Stand has unequaled precision.
  8. Acculign Compounder permits minor radial adjustments for special cuts and to correct human errors. Calibrated in ¼ degree increments with a range of two degrees in either direction.
  9. Made of the Finest Material and Craftsmanship. All metal parts are fabricated from anodized aluminum and stainless steel. Lifetime sealed bearings. Durable polyurethane splash pan is easy to clean and protects stones against accidental damage.
  10. 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.
  11. Can use 6" or 8" laps with a ½ arbor hole or ¼" screw threads.
  12. Lifetime Warranty Against Defects in Material or Workmanship from the Norman T. Jarvi Tool Company Exclusive Manufacturer of the Facetron.
Now comes with
DIAL INDICATOR

The dial indicator stop system consists of a new hard stop for dependable and accurate depth of cuts.

You have three options:
  • Dial stop only
  • Hard stop only
  • Or both
The dial indicator resolution is .0005 of inch increments.  The smaller indicator inside the middle of the dial is a revolution counter and has no impact on your cutting.  Your machine is factory preset so that your desired angle will be met when the indicator needle reaches zero, which is factory preset at a 12 o'clock position.

Compare with other faceting equipment




"There are probably more award winning competition cutters using the Facetron than any other machine on the U.S. market."

"Jarvi Tool makes an outstanding, affordable faceting machine - period.  Norman Jarvi passed away in Feb 2002.  Jeff Jarvi, Norm's son, has taken over the business and stands behind each and every machine with a lifetime warranty and fast, effective service.

 My husband has cut on 7 different brands of faceters over a 25 year period - which does he prefer? The Facetron, for accuracy, reliability, ease of learning, ease of use.  Even more so now with the dial indicator."
--Jeanne Ridolfi
