A new machine for a new year. In this video, I am unboxing the Som Faceting machine from KMT. The Som is a modern style Jambpeg that sits on an American-style Faceting machine base. I will be using the machine and posting a review video over the next few months.

I cant wait to see your review of this machine. It all looks pretty good. I like the dops and how they are indexed so you just roll the dop to the next flat spot, and so on. Thats pretty interesting. It looks great and it was really nice of them to send it to you for a review of their product. They must have a lot of faith in it! But it will make an awesome addition to your museum!

@Stanley-xd1gf Год назад

Hugs from Brazil Justin, have a good new year and may your channel have great and new achievements.

@matteoobertoprospector Год назад

It's amazing to think that after centuries of jambpeg, here we are with the same "idea" but with better material and precision. Core Design is very similiar to Ultratec (wood stuff, etc.).

@DonariaRegia Год назад

The last video I saw of a professional cutter on a calibrated jambpeg was in Israel if memory serves correct. A fast hand flipping and cutting then checking every rotation. It looked like it took a lot of practice. This looks like a serious contender based on the fine adjustments and overall build quality. Between the Thailand museum and all the machines you had America waiting then collecting more on your tour, you might have the largest assortment of anyone living today. They're in the right hands, you share so much of what you've learned. Happy New Year Justin!

@JustinKPrim Год назад

Yes I think so. I currently have 91 faceting machines and all of them will come together in one spot next year. Finally the museum will become a place people can visit… in Portland, Oregon if everything goes to plan.

@DonariaRegia Год назад

@@JustinKPrim That will be a hot destination for faceters old and young. Such a collection of machines and literature! I was in the shop today making one of final elements of my prototype handpiece. It follows the locked angle concept of the Bunter, but the rail is above the vertical lap, so the handpiece can hang eliminating the need to balance the handpiece on the rail. Less fatigue and if it slips out of the hand the stone isn't in danger.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@DonariaRegia I look forward to seeing that

@martinkovacik1240 Год назад

yo Justin looking forward to see some stones finished and what you think about the performance in cutting, looks good though

@DragonRide69 11 месяцев назад

Any update on that Review Video? Excited to see how this machine performs so I can decide to buy or not :)

@JustinKPrim 11 месяцев назад

I’m shooting it in 1 week!!

@elizabethscott737 Год назад

I was looking at their machines. That’s nice that the base could be used with the mast… probably not with a handpiece though?

@JustinKPrim Год назад

I don’t think so. They have a prototype handpiece machine on their website but it doesn’t use a plate that goes up and down so I don’t think that it would work with this space. It has a different kind of a base

Hi Justin, do you have any experience with Kavi machine?

@JustinKPrim 5 месяцев назад

Not yet

@idonthaveaname42 Год назад

Do you know of anywhere you can find information on how to build these or is that hidden pretty well?

@idonthaveaname42 Год назад

Maybe i could contact the manufacturer and get all the pieces

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@idonthaveaname42 I dont think the info is hidden. Any mechanical engineer could built one. Its a simple machine but I dont think anyone is posting schematics online or anything

@CurrentlyRockhounding Год назад

Have you had any more time to work with this machine? Thoughts on it?

@JustinKPrim Год назад

Sadly no. It’s in Chicago and I’m in France. I’m not sure when we will be reunited but I want to be using it asap

@KennyRupp Год назад

Waiting for review, got a quote for Som not thrilled that the delivery cost is $650. Really interested in the Som just want to make sure the mast is worth it. Vs raytec and other masts for facing

@JustinKPrim Год назад

I’m hoping to have a review ready for late august or September. Currently I’m in France and the machine is in Chicago but I will get it when I go back.

@KennyRupp Год назад

@@JustinKPrim excellent thanks for all the information and knowledge, it’s great! Safe travels

@Algoldprospecting Год назад

Cool machine. Can’t wait to get started cutting. I will be buying your book. Where can I get your book?

Thank you. You can find the book here:www.magusgems.com/product-page/the-secret-teachings-of-gemcutting

@siamakaghazeinali Год назад

do you know which grade of carborundum is good to make fogy glass to clear?

@JustinKPrim Год назад

I think you’re looking for cerium oxide not carborundum

@siamakaghazeinali Год назад

I am looking for a material that can remove a thin layer of cloudy glass and make it clear.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@siamakaghazeinali you have to grind it flat with a 600 or 1200 grit disk and then polish it with cerium oxide.If it's already flat then you can just go straight to cerium oxide.

@w3vjp568 4 месяца назад

Are there any dealers in the USA selling these? I've been looking at a USA-made faceter, but to afford one I would have to sell off my estate and private jet.

@JustinKPrim 4 месяца назад

No, you need to order from KMT direct in India.

@ronhauser4284 7 месяцев назад

I've watched your review of this machine several times and I'm unable to determine how you are controlling the depth of the facets. Is the index end of the dop banking on a hard stop? Is that how the depth of the facets is being controlled. I couldn't see a good view of that in your review video. Please get back to me on this. Thank you -

@JustinKPrim 7 месяцев назад

It’s all hand pressure. The Jambpeg head does go up and down but you don’t use the height control while cutting. You either cut longer to make the facet bigger or change hole I.e. change angles to adjust the shape of a facet.

@ronhauser4284 7 месяцев назад

@@JustinKPrimthank you for your reply, but it seems crazy to me not to have a hard stop to work to. Good luck trying not to over cut the facets. It would take a lot of experience to pickup on that. Aside from that issue I like that machine, and I can see one could cut a stone quickly with that method. I'll be watching. Thanks -

KTM, the Indian company making this Jam Peg machine, copied the exact design from one made in Israel some twenty years ago. This is the most modern, up-to-date, and precise jam peg made. I have a jam peg with dops made by another Indian company. If you want to see the machine in operation you can check out Bob Lakey's RU-vid by going to RU-vid and typing Jam Peg in the search window and you will notice about a half dozen or so titles. Bob Lakey is an Australian and has made two movie shorts: Bob's Jam Peg and A New Start. Bob went to Israel to purchase two machines and stayed to learn how to become proficient some years ago. You can watch him knock out a half dozen good size faceted stones of different designs in a few hours.

@CurrentlyRockhounding Год назад

When I look it up it seems like the price is $1700+shipping which isn't bad if its a good machine. I'm kind of looking at options out there for myself. You should make a buyers guide!

@JustinKPrim Год назад

Good idea! I can’t wait to see some of their other machines as well.

@CurrentlyRockhounding Год назад

@@JustinKPrim From what I can tell faceting machines come in more variety's and a wider range of price points than any other lapidary machine which makes it rather hard to know where to even start with it. It would be great to hear your thoughts and top pick for machines under $1k, between $1k-$2k, and so on.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@CurrentlyRockhounding yes this is a good idea. The hard part is getting my hands on some of these more budget machines. There are a lot of new ones from China/Vietnam/India but most manufacturers are small enough that sending me a review machine is a burden But I’m trying!! Once I’ve seen a few I’ll make a guide for sure.
