Facet.ing CutKit™: Get Started Faceting for under $500

Here's a question I kept getting asked:

Cutting stones looks like fun. How do I get started faceting?

And until now, unless you had a local club or a friend with a machine they'd lend you, there wasn't a good affordable answer. But now there is one: the Facet.ing CutKit™, an upgrade kit that turns an inexpensive Vevor base machine into a fully functional faceting setup!

Vevor faceting machines are cheap, readily available and almost functional out of the box, but need a few key fixes and a more components to actually cut a complete stone with one. Our kit fills out all those missing components including some starter facet rough, with the exception of four things we can't ship: an alcohol lamp, WD40, paper towels and two buckets for your water input and output.

You can buy a Vevor Machine AND the CutKit 1 AND still stay under a $500 budget!  Not only that, but the CutKit includes everything else you need, including your polishing laps and some starter gem rough. 

If your budget is a little bigger, and you want a less barebones setup, you can get the premium addons on top of your Cutkit (which has a couple quality of life upgrade components and some additional gem rough). 

We also offer the CutKit 2, which has an improved and higher quality mast.

So far, we have sold over 600 CutKits. We have links below for the Vevor machine, and you can get your CutKit here:

Add-ons, supplies, and upgrades!

The base cutkit has enough tools to get you started - but if you use all the wax or diamond powder, or want to cut a stone with an unusual symmetry, we have accessories to make that happen!

Where to get the base faceting machine

We don't sell the base machine as part of the kit since Vevor has incredible shipping logistics in the US. The price is usually $260 including free shipping, but sometimes they run sales and you can get it for even less. Check each link, they run different sales on different stores.

FOR NON US BUYERS (if the links don't work):

Unfortunately Vevor ships different products to different regions, and this model isn't available everywhere outside the US. Vevor has some similar faceting machine designs which are only available internationally, but I haven't tried those and can't guarantee they will work as well. Check Vevor's website in your region to see what they have. I am working on a video testing every model I can get my hands on but it isn't done yet.
