VEVOR Gem Faceting Machine 180W Jade Pulido Pulido 2980RPM Rock Pulidora

Was packaged extremely well and everything of top quality and built to last. I would recommend this product and any other products of theirs.

Overall, I am mostly pleased with my purchase, but after use of the machine, the speed control seems to fail while working on a stone and the machine seems to get really hot. I have adequate airflow around the machine but the whole machine gets hot to the touch.

It’s amazing !! Love the quality and price. Fast shipping .easy of ordering and time it took was awesome.

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He absolutely loves it. I get many pictures of the beautiful stones he has been tranforming for jewelry.

Works ok, but the start/stop switch is a little squirrely; you have to push it a half dozen times before it will turn on. Additionally, the water pump works ok, but it doesn't have a switch. You have to plug it in and unplug it to start and stop.

She loved it but it didn't come with extra disc

I have been a rock hound for years. The faceting machine is just what I was looking for. The price is right and machine easy to use

You'll see in other reviews that the machine has major design flaws and frequent quality issues - this is true. BUT There is a company called Turtle's Hoard that makes a product called \"Cut Kit\". This is a kit that specifically turns this specific model of Vevor into a fully functional machine with simple instructions. I bought that and this, under $500 together, and I could not be happier with the results. If anyone else, like me, wants to try faceting but doesn't want to spend tens of thousands- to for it

Machine operates fantastic, I do wish the mast and protractor were a bit more robust or that an optional mast and protractor were available. Overall is a very good entry level machine.

If you are looking for a cheap machine to see if you are interested you can't beat this one. However in my case - After the first stone ( piece of quartz from the river) I notice that I was getting a skip when cutting and polishing. I took the plate off and found that it was out of flat by .005. I pit in on the lathe and flattened it to .0005 and it got better. -After the second stone ( piece of quartz crystal from amazon) I found that the skip was still there and put a dial gauge on the plate and found another .005. I tool the plate off and gauged the motor to plate adapter and found .002 so I took it off and made a fixture to hold it that was the same size as the motor shaft. The plate now runs true to .002 at the edge of the plate. Another issue is that the platform under the mast is not flat and if you have to move it you loose you angles. At this point I was feeling froggy and bought some obsidian and cut a rose facet that turned out fairly well until I got to the polishing and I notices the angle was a little off and there was a small click when I applied pressure. It took a while but I was surprised at how well it turned out. When I was taking the dop stick out of the mandrel I found that the click I felt was wear in the bushing that hold the hand piece. No bad but surprising with so little use. The next stone was a piece of synthetic ruby from amazon (surprisingly cheap). It cut amazingly well compared to the obsidian (less scratches) But when it came to the polishing it was evident that the bushings were now so bad that I didn't want to proceed with what I hope will be a very nice stone when my new bushings come in. I learned a lot from all this and intend to continue. I would buy it again because the next level that I can find is around $2K but anyone considering this machine should be aware that all of them may not be the best of quality.
