Since many of years the diamond manufacturing industry has been an industry were craftsmanship took an important place in the creation of a perfect diamond. However, the last 20 years, more and more high tech tools, such as rough and polished planners, laser sawing and shaping machines, gemmological instruments and auto blocking devices , succesfully earned their place in the proces. One might say that total automatisation of diamond manufacturing is nearby. This could be if the quality standards of the polished diamond would have kept their old values. But the market requests higher quality of make. Triple-X, flawless cut, with an impeccable smoothness are nowadays the key words. This sets the bar high, aspecially on the finishing or brillanteering side. There is no device yet wich can replace the soft touch, the sensitive reaction or the apprehension of the human hand and mind. The workers skills makes half of the result, a perfect polishing tools provides the second half. Let's put it this way, a precious diamond deserves only the best of polishing tools.
