Vevor Faceting machine unboxing and first impression review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2024
- I finally got a vevor faceting machine, and had a blasting my newest lapidary tool! I must say that this machine is actually really easy to use, even for a total novice like myself. I've only used a faceting machine one time, and I had to build that one. I learned alot from in my first weekend with it and am looking forward to more content about it! Now, this is just the un boxing and my first thoughts. also, im leaarning. I will be putting out more videos on this machine, and potential draw backs to this machine. with that said, it was 250$. by comparison, the most commonly recomended machine on the market, an ultratec, is nearly 10 times that cost, and realistically speaking, its a luxury to be able to afford a machine like that for many. it should be obvious that this machine costing under $250 wont be as amazing as one that cost $3500. I would recomend this one for a good starting point for a hobby. and, we will see if i can make it work in a more professional way
if your intrested in trying this machine yourself, you can use my affialite link below, eventually it will build up for me to get a new tool to review from them!

Congratulations! Tyler. I know you will make many beautiful stones with this machine!
Thank you Mia, I'm looking forward to it!
Great to see that you've got a machine to work with. Patrick has a good video on tweaking a machine and Theo is working on one. Agree about the reverse also; I actually tape my switch so I don't accidentally reverse instead of turning off the machine. I would hate to mess up the motor! Thanks for sharing, happy cutting to you!
Hey thank you for that idea! I think this was a good place to start, I can see some issues already but, It is better then the one I made. I'm sooo excited to keep playing with it
Very Nice. Looks like you have things handle and headed the right direction. It's the person that tells the machine what to do, the machine does not tell the operator what to do. Practice makes perfect as they say.
Very very solid advice there! And I will officially saw I recommend this, but it will take some learning
Hey Tyler... Just a heads up I've heard from other faceter's. Stop the machine completely before switching from forward to backwards (or Vice a Versa). Otherwise it (supposedly) shortens the life overall in the gear section. Just tossing it out there buddy for whatever it's worth. Hope the unit gives you lots of joy! And look forward to maybe a 3 month and 6 month review/update.
Yeah it's like throwing your car into reverse straight from drive.
great advice, i will keep that front of mind as i learn to use this
I see MEOW MEOW PUT BLESSINGS ON IT.
Have Fun!!!
having a blast for sure
So Cool, cannot. 2ait to see what you facet Alliljuh
Im stoked, the first get for me to finish on it isnt bad, and i feel like i have alot of potential, so really looking forward to this
also a slight snug with pliars will keep the lap from slipping like that.
Looks like you still can't lower the quill enough to cut a perpendicular girdle, but I agree it's looking like a more complete faceting machine.
I was able to get a 90 degree angle, but it isnt easy. you have to take the hight adjustment off, but if it fits all the way down the angle goes over 90 degrees. i agree though, that is an imporvement that could be made on this, im considering if i can make something
@@Celestial_Reach I found a simple fix. Just put the height adjuster on top upside down, and because gravity does not go up, attach it with rubber bands. Works!!! and you can adjust to any height!!
Not aluminum, stainless steel.
