Back when I was cutting professionally, my best time on a 1 ct Montana Sapphire SRB, from rough to completely cut & polished gem (in front of the student who’d challenged me and was holding the stopwatch) was 56 minutes, on an Ultra Tec V2. (Mind you, that was 24 years ago…)

That’s a very respectable time!

It takes me about 4 hours on my UT VL Classic. I do get a lot of distractions too so that slows my production as well.

If I really want the stone done I'll run my machine at almost full speed but it would take about 2-3 days. I like to take my time, in Jan I finished a 55ct quartz modified Portuguese with 209 facets 25mm, it took a month. lol

After cutting for about a year now, following the faceting apprentice program I can cut and polish a SRB in about 3 hours.

I've never cut a "standard" cut. I've never cut a Round Brilliant.

Sorry that’s all the demo we did. Polishing is usually quick when all the meets are nicely lined up.

He makes it look too easy lol. If you have the right equipment that helps. That guy does it for a living he can probably do it in his sleep lol

Spends on your goals. If you’re trying to make a living, cutting multiple stones a days is the difference between paying the bills and putting away some savings.

Credit where credit is due, he's good at SRBs, but I wonder how he would go on a rectangular cushion. Every cut I do is done to maximise yield so virtually never do an SRB. All take a lot more time, but then custom cuts make more money for unique pieces of jewellery.

Whenever we used to work together, he would bring in five pieces of Rough to show the students one day, tourmaline, spinel, sapphire, etc. The next day after an eight hour day of teaching, he would go home cut 5 10-carat stones overnight, sleep, and then come back and show us the next day. Dude is fast, great yield, nice polish and his meetpoints are impressive.
