The index head of the Som Faceting Machine is based on the traditional Jamb Peg design, engineered for precise and controlled gemstone faceting. This sturdy, well-balanced, and precision-machined component features multiple angle holes, each carefully drilled to exact specifications. Every hole corresponds to a specific facet position, enabling the operator to achieve a wide range of cutting patterns and designs with ease. It is also fully compatible with operations such as griddle and table cutting.

The gemstone is mounted on a dop stick and placed on the index head, with the selected angle hole guiding the pivot point for accurate faceting. Its simple yet highly reliable mechanical design allows skilled cutters to achieve fast, repeatable, and intricate results. This index head blends the timeless craftsmanship of the Jamb Peg tradition with the stability and accuracy of modern manufacturing. Proudly designed and manufactured in India by Kalpana Machine Tools
