This is the CutKit1!  If you want to get faceting for under 500 dollars, you can!  All you need is: this kit, a Vevor faceting machine (not included in the kit, see purchasing links below), an alcohol lamp, a can of WD-40, a roll of paper towels and two buckets.  Visit Facet.ing for full information and instructional videos.

The CutKit1 comes with:

  • 1x CutKit Mast
  • 1x dop holder
  • 1x transfer jig (now with new magnetic transfer jig!)
  • 1x 240 grit lap
  • 1x 600 grit lap
  • 2x copper polishing laps
  • 1x 8k Gearloose Diastik
  • 1x 60k Gearloose Diastik
  • 1x stick Princeton low temperature dop wax (may shatter in shipping, but will still melt fine)
  • 1x stone tongs
  • 1x nut/bolt set
  • 1x marker
  • 1x 6mm dop pair
  • 1x 10mm dop pair (May have some rust spots, that's how they come from the factory)
  • 1x water shield
  • 1x charging ruby
  • 1x sandpaper
  • 3x YAG facet rough (assorted colors)

If you get it with Premium Addons, it comes with all of the above plus:

  • 1x knurled lap nut (custom machined and much more ergonomic than the provided hex nut),
  • 1x Covington high temperature wax stick,
  • 1x 120 degree index gear (good for 10-fold symmetries)
  • A three-piece premium rough set (approximately 13g total of LuAG, dichroic moissanite and pink laser sapphire.)

The Dice-Cutting Addon contains:

  • 1x 100 grit lap for extra-coarse roughing
  • 1x 80 degree index gear (ideal for cutting D20s)
  • 1x Sapphire Rod Preform (approximately 30g, grown for infrared countermeasures)
  • 1x Golden Laser Garnet Cone (approximately 40g)

The correct Vevor faceting machine can be purchased at any of the the below links.  I recommend buying via eBay because they occasionally run sales there with prices as low as 216 dollars including shipping in the US.
