Here is a list, in no particular order, of all faceting machine manufacturers that USFG members have found and submitted. The list includes contact information and a link to their website (if they have one). Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement.
If you know of other manufacturers (past or present) please let us know. We’d appreciate any information on the manufacturer and/or photographs (physical or electronic versions). For those interested in building their own faceting machine, complete instructions for a very solid home-built machine can be found at Jon Rolfe’s website. Note: Thanks to Doug Miller for donating a large portion of the information on this webpage. |
