[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 120353, member: 578"] Glad your getting your machine sorted, but from what I hear almost all machines will be out by a degree . As long as you know you can work around it . I think all machines are much of a muchness .. Same principle . I like the way some old school facetors worked ... Alex Amess , an aussie that used to cut freehand . No hand piece , and could cut an SRB in twenty minutes. Also was doing concave facets twenty years before there was a machine specified for it . Much respect . Sounds like you know what to do with your machine , I'll bet it will cut some nice stones once you've declogged it :) with the money you've saved you can purchase some fine laps , then you'll be really happy.
