By the way, do any of you ladies have arachnid genes? ... esp the black widow type? :twisted:

Now if only your husbands read this thread !!!!! :wink:

Not to worry, Apollo, I'm not married :lol:

. I am, however, divorced, and many were the times I would have preferred to be a widow :twisted:

Phew .... instead of going all the way, you've settled for second best choice ! :twisted:

Let's hope you don't get to feel that way again ....

Since I have absolutely no intentions of ever marrying again, I threw my "red hour-glass" away :lol:

Does anybody know where I can get one of those machines in that same price range in the US? $400 seems very appealing. I have not done any facetting yet, watched a few people do it, though. Think a machine like that would be awesome to start off with. I just bought a bunch of other equipment and would like to limit my investment at this point.

I seriously doubt. India and China generally give low costs due to their capacity to avail cheap labour which is not the fact in the US.

BTW, I have also purchased the calibration machine. This should allow me to cut perfectly shaped stones. Came for about 700 USD ex-factory.
