Ive just finished plastic printing a set of special radius cams to suit the Gemmasta performer. It works on the arcs of different circles to create opposing curves and a set of opposing curves at right angles to the first. Or rounded square and rectangles. They will also do marquise, pear shape, and trilliant.
After shaping with squares and rectangles you still need to make radius corners by hand faceting and rubbing over or hand grinding for cabbing.
This is another one of my long time projects that is now completed and should speed up the faceting of these shapes greatly.
To make a complete cam in the shape required I use a dop that holds a cam blank and I preform a cam using the radius cam sets. At present this will make a radius using 30mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 60mm circles.
I received yet another warning regarding self promotion of my ideas and inventions so this is not intended as an advertisement. I just think that great ideas and good lap discoveries shouldn't be kept locked away never to be seen or discussed. There may be a small financial gain further down the track but this is small stuff.
Its only out of the machine an hour and what no sales yet. dammmmmmmm
