Want to do jamb peg faceting -- where else but from The Addexton Company could you find a jamb peg block? The block is adjustable as to angel and can be positioned next to almost any lap on a faceting machine. Yes you can make standard cuts using a jamb peg and some cutters can and do cut hundreds of stones using this method. But it takes practice and it may take years to develop this skill.

Do you know why this block has five rows of holes in one direction and seven in the other? When doing jamb peg you do not sweep the lap as you do with the american made faceting machines. You put the stone straight down on the lap and pick it up when the facet has been cut or polished. Use of the five holes allows you to position the stone at different positions on the lap to prevent making groves in your lap. The seven holes in the up direction allow different angeles -- and because seven is a lucky number. Some cutters using wooden blocks (that shown is made of aluminum) will add additional holes from time to time as they are cutting.

The block together with the shaft, holder, anodized aluminum base, and leveling tube, used in transferring, sells for $350.
