In machines of this type the dop stick with the gem attached to it, is fitted into a "quill" which can be positioned at various precise angles via the "protractor." The quill moves up and down on the mast, which gives great control over the depth of cut, and a slotted index gear gives accurate control over the radial placement of facets. Stones cut on such equipment are usually described as "custom cut."  3, record 1, English, - mechanical%20head
