Concave Faceting And Polishing Machine

Anand Engineering Works offers Concave Faceting And Polishing Machine. The machine base is made up of Cast Iron and is mounted on dull finish mica fixed board which forms the table with heavy supporting legs. There are two motors - one is 1/30 h.p. 1400 r.p.m. Single-phase 220 volts motor AC 50 cycle – used for rotating the faceting and polishing rollers simultaneously and the other, a small DC motor used for back and for the linear movement of the polishing roller while polishing. The machine is fixed with a highly accurate faceting head which is moved back and forth and sideways with the help of slides which can be pre-set for the required distance. The Gemstone is fixed on to a metal (brass/iron) dopstick with the help of dopping wax. The dopsticks are fixed with the indexing attachment. The faceting head has the numbered slots for different angles. One end of the dop stick is inserted into these angle slots and faceting and polishing is done according to the shape and size and requirement of the cutting styles. Various types of indexing attachments are available to achieve virtually any desired shape and cut. The faceting and Polishing rollers also come in a variety of sizes ranging from ½” dia to 1-1/4” dia. The Faceting Rollers, the polishing rollers, dopsticks, dopstick stand, and transfer block are not provided with the machine and have to be procured separately at extra cost. Most stones have a flat table and this can not be done on this machine – hence some other machine (we recommend our AEW-FPID model, as this machine is equipped with a similar faceting head) is required for this purpose. Advantages: Excellent Machine for Concave Faceting & Polishing of virtually any size and shape,  The first machine for simultaneous faceting and polishing- without the need to change rollers – results in higher output and greater accuracy of the stone, Adapted to work on the facetors and dopsticks presently being used in the processing of normal faceted stones – results in lesser investment for back end operations, Faceting & Polishing Rollers readily available in all grit sizes and diameters.
