Looking to level up your faceting game?
This adapter releases the tension on your faceting head’s index gear, letting your quill spin freely for fast, fluid shaping and performing. Whether you’re centering rough, rounding asymmetrical pieces, or cleaning up a dop, it saves time and reinvents your workflow

If you’ve ever tried to preshape a round stone while fighting the index gear, you already know the struggle. The quill doesn’t want to spin, and even small adjustments can knock your rhythm off.
This simple adapter solves that. It pulls the index spring back just enough to let the quill free-spin — pops right off when you're done.

This adapter works amazing. I can cut stones in a perfect circle now without the struggle of holding the spring back on my quill/manipulator. I do suggest to add a little oil so you dont wear the part out.
