Il serait préférable d'employer le terme «facetteur» plutôt que «polisseur». En effet, la définition du premier terme indique qu'il y a deux étapes au facettage, la pose et le polissage, alors que «polisseur» pourrait laisser supposer qu'il n'est question de la dernière étape, soit le polissage. 6, record 1, French, - facetteur

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 3, English, - mechanical%20head
