Hi, this is my first post.
Basically my company has always been mining gemstones and cutting diamonds.
It’s great to manually cut a high cost good in a country with high labor costs.
We have always been selling all our gemstones as rough until recently. Unfortunately it is to expensive to cut them here. I read and heard about automatic gem polishing machines. My question is does anyone have any experience with fully automatic gem Faceting/cutting machines and could enlighten me on the subject.
I’m wondering the same thing. I deal in rough diamonds and the senses is that diamond should be cut by hand because every diamond is Unique and no machine will replace the unaided eye. If you find out anything different let me know please I also have high end rough from Canada if you’re interested.
Hi. I don’t have any direct experience with a machine but, don’t know if I’m stating the obvious, you have more waste with a machine, and the cut stones could be hand polished for a better finish.
