Bruting a Diamond

Girdling or bruting the rough is a critical phase where the stone is placed on a lathe while a second diamond mounted on a dop is pressed against it, rounding the rough diamond into a conical shape. AutoBruters use the latest technology to preform “non-contact” measuring to overcome inherent problems in the rounding process. using live video and image analyzing software, potential out-of-roundness and any deviations from the desired dimensions and a computer will guide the machine to take necessary actions by slowing the bruting speed or pressure.
