Looks like that would be useful a lot of the time. Do you have to adjust it for each angle? Or do you just have to change the hole for the end of the dop stick?
It's not set for a particular angle, I set it at approx 32deg for the crown and adjust when pre-polishing, maybe up, maybe down a bit. All I need is 8 equal sized facets which gives me a girdle line . Only used for small stones.
looking at getting a Som, not sure about how good the build is tho. Trying to find a review on the Som lap motor and mast. Might just get the new ultra tec VL, and figure out how to get the Jamb Peg working on the side somehow. I never worked on a jamb peg, but want to.. learning alot from your website and youtube videos, thank you.
The Som is the same as my Israeli built machine. I have a table attachment from KMT and the build is very good. Of all the jamb pegs I would have to go for the Som. The base and electrical side...I don't know. The head itself will last a lifetime, nothing to wear out or go wrong.
Buenos días señor me gustaría saber cuánto cuesta o vale la máquina con la invension de facetado porq yo trabajo faceteando esmeraldas pero de bajo precio y mi herramienta o máquina es artesanal
Hi, the Israeli machine is not being made at this time and was expensive. The alternative is the Som jamb peg from KMT Jaipur, this is the same as the Israeli machine, for more information check out my website bobsjambpeg.com
I have been following Bob for a while and have two knockoff copies of the Israeli-made Jam Peg he uses which is no longer manufactured. These are manufactured in India. One I have never used and comes with four each 8, 10 and 12-sided dops that I am willing to sell for $500 USD, The Israeli machine was considerably higher in price and at the time not available without the base.
Hello from Germany- very nice instruction 😊🇩🇪⛰️✌️
Thank you

Set an approximate crown angle for the stone, cut the 8 crown main facets of equal size, which gives me a girdle line and then it's removed

Thank you for the information. I’m gonna make the leap and make the purchase this June for the KMT. please continue with your awesome videos.
@@KennyRupp If you are serious about using the jamb peg you will find you can cut perfect meets, quicker and easier than any other machine.

Is this a full jamb peg machine with adjustable / reverse motor, laps, etc
@@KennyRupp Most people seem to disregard the table attachment but it's an essential piece of the machine and reverse is necessary to use it
Edwin, did you buy a Som? The only useful dops are the 8 and 6 sided
