I’m sure people will appreciate you telling them to buy the lamp separately, I made that mistake myself when buying my V5. Why they don’t include an $80 lamp with a $6k machine is a mystery to me 🤷🏻♂️
Always appreciate your videos, you have helped me tremendously in the last couple of years 🫵🏼🐐
The lamp is a piece that people have very specific preferences. The reason behind it being that people who spend $5k on a machine that has a very specific single use, will either already have a very nice lamp that will just replace the one in the kit, will quickly buy one to replace the one in the kit, and may be upset they had to spend $200 extra for a lamp they didn't need or want. So in an effort to reduce complaints or problems, and to keep costs down, it wasn't included. However, I feel like the option to buy one to be included in the kit should be available. That just seems like an oversight to me.
I think it's like if a car manufacturer noticed all of the stereos in their high end cars were almost always replaced, and they said "we'll save you some money and not include a stereo since you were going to probably were going to replace it anyway. To the people who don't already have one, you understand what level of product you're buying, now is when you get to make the choice of what you want."
Perfect timing!! My V5 is set to ship today!
how has your experience with the V5 been?
Thanks for the information. Very helpful.
You're the best! Love all of your videos. You inspired me to pursue my life long dream to cut gemstones.
awesome video. wish i had this when i started. this will be awesome for new faceters
Hi Steve! I'm Brazilian and I'm always following your videos. I'm a lapidary woman, and here in Brazil we have good cutting machines, but this V5 is without a doubt a consumer dream.
Thanks for watching! It is a great machine.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
TRABALHO INCRÍVEL / IMPRESSIONANTE !!!
AWESOME WORK !!!
I think,steve,i'd learned a lot from you,only for practice soon,if i had money to buy my tools and machine,thanks sir steve.
Thank you sir 🙏🌸🌸🎈💜💚💛💜
Hi Steve. Gee, I noticed what a nice set up you have there with the UT-V5. Currently, I am learning how to cut myself on a V2. It has an old transfer jig and my question is, if I get the new UT 45 degree tabling adapter, will it accept the old transfer jig? I thank you in advance to this silly question.
Спасибо Вам за видео уроки!!! г.Владивосток
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😃

Sir you are gem collector
Do you guys teach how to cut the gemstones or the manufacturer has some course to learn how to use it ?
Thank you , Nice video !
Yes check out the playlists on our channel- there is a how to cut gemstones playlist with many educational videos
Hi Steve can you tell us the lap grit to use on gems per hardness ? Like hardness 6 lap ? From star to Finnish lets say quartz
Hi Steve, stumbled upon your channel and been mesmerized since. I do have a question about advice for someone who is wanted to get into faceting but doesn’t have the money/capital to be able to afford an ultra-tec? I have a lot of rough amethyst I really want to start learning on.
Here’s on on North American Lapidary, Gems and Minerals. I'm currently selling my Ultra Tec V2 faceting machine. I'm hoping to sell it and use the proceeds to help fund my upcoming trip to Tucson. It has an updated digital mast and comes with multiple attachments, laps, and some rough.
It includes a copper polishing lap (plus two 60k grit sticks), a master lap, a transfer block, a table adapter, 7 dops, some YAG for practice material, the water bucket, lamp, and owners manuel with all receipts of repairs on the machine.
I’m asking $700 shipped
Also check lapidary equipment marketplace on Facebook
Thank you. Can I ask when your trip is so that I could see about hopefully pulling together the money, unless your offering it for in the USA only as I’m Canada based
My friend Steve, can you price this sanding machine?
👍
Q láminas se pueden usar para el brillo de la esmeralda y cuánto pueden valer
Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦. I’ve just started following your channel over the past few weeks, very interesting. I’ve been interested in gemmology for most of my life. Quick question how would you recommend to dip their toes into cutting? Where do you start and with what.Thank you very much I’m 54 young and thinking of a new hobby.
If you don’t know a cutter or have a lapidary club nearby you will need to buy a machine. I recommend the Ultra Tek V5. You will invest around $6500 for the machine and cutting supplies. If for some reason you don’t like it there is a strong resale market for machines. If you do order let them know I sent you. I will get a commission and I will send you some nice rough to start with.
Parabéns meu amigo, quanto custa essa sua máquina de lapidação?
This Ultra Tec V5 is currently $5,290.00. www.ultratec-facet.com/product/v5-digital/

Hello, I am looking forward into knowing how to score with the tool from Ultra Tec. Just got the machine. Thanks!
What are you wanting to score?
@@Moregems The Tin Lap for polishing and prepolishing. And wanted to ask about the Zinc Plus, does it need scoring too?
once I start cutting am I allowed to move the mast backward/forward? or should it stay in place from start to finish? and if I'm allowed to move it, do adjustement have to be made after moving it?
You should be able to move it I do it all the time particularly when polishing . If it causes problems it’s a machine adjustment issue.
hello how are you my dear brother
Buenos días me podría indicar cuál es el precio de la máquina
Sir, is the angle value you set the opposite? Isn't the angle of thetable 0 degrees? thanks！
What I mean is, shouldn't the first angle you set be 0 degrees?
My ultratec handbook book mentions the digital angle display should already be calibrated for life, will I still need to follow the calibration steps shown here?
Yes occasionally I need to calibrate. Usually my fault.
Hello ,thank you for your nice videos,l am left handed ,what is your advice to me for buy left or right hand ultratec V5 machine ? Best regards
I am right handed and use a right handed machine. For you I would go with Left handed
I would call ultra-tek to make sure. I have another machine a gemmaster II and I returned a right handed for a left handed machine although it is a different set up.
hello did you call to ultraTec for advice me for choosing left handed or right handed ultra tec machine ?
I have to choose until Monday.
Best regards

If I remember right. You don't mind heated stones. But what about cutting untreated natural Sapphire
Many many stones in the industry are heated, so I do cut heated stones. I am not opposed to cutting unheated sapphire and have cut many, including unheated Madagascar & Montana sapphires.
Why V5 over the VL?
Door in tha back...priti door stron

Thanks for your comment

Hi sir I want v5 who can I got it

Ok... I am confused why you would ever use a 45 degree angle piece with this machine? can't you just table a gem with the 0 degree reference? Less parts seems to mean less room for error. Setting up a "screw set 45" means having to ensure the down angle isn't kicked forward or backward (the issue I'm having on my current machine tabling). And the cheater would work the same here as anywhere. So why use the extra parts??? Great video, by the way. Thanks for taking me through the machine setup. I don't know why it's so expensive, given that they don't even include a light (I'd expect dishing out 5-6 grand to have a 19th century invention attached). The Mast and DAD seems like it would make any faceting easy (on any machine you could attach it to). The rest... kind of seems like the rest of the machines on the market. Motor. Check. Bucket for water. Check. Flow control. Check.
The 45 does give you more cheat and on occasion I do use it. Only on a high precision machine does this work. The mast needs to be perfectly verticals. I don’t understand the light situation.
@@Moregems I was messing with a marble I was cutting after watching these videos and said "well, I can turn my mast around and get about 1 inch over my lap, let's give it a try." My cheater worked fine like this (and my cheater stinks, as I have the second cheapest machine one can buy). In fact, they don't even call it a cheater... but I digress. If you're at 0.01 degrees, you'll be able to cheat it 5x as well as I can even control my height... so it shouldn't be a problem. I was just amazed at how far over the lap the V5 DAD/mast went (nearly five inches, which is where I usually facet). I thought "that is easily far enough to do a table" (you can't get much closer to the spinning nut without hitting it). Also, I thought: AND you don't have to take the dop out! So polishing without resetting the stone is easier! Win Win!
