Lapidary Bench

Maximize light return and optimize your gemstone cutting workflows with LapidaryBench, the ultimate digital workshop companion for lapidary artists. Move away from scattered reference books and organize critical optical properties, custom cutting plans, and material processing logs in one unified, offline-friendly workspace based on the interface.

Key Features:
Comprehensive Species Library: Quick-lookup total-internal-reflection angles and critical optical data for 80 gemstone species, featuring common silicates and oxides like Quartz (40.5°), Amethyst (40.5°), Tourmaline (37.3°), Pyrope Garnet (34.6°), and Spinel (35.2°).

Interactive Cutting Planner: Input raw stone dimensions—including length (mm), width (mm), depth (mm), and weight (ct)—to generate optimized cutting paths. Configure design shapes like a Round Brilliant, set orientation preferences (Table Up), and balance your material priority.

Precision Faceting Diagrams: View detailed crown and pavilion angle calculations tailored dynamically to your chosen gemstone species to minimize material loss and ensure brilliant light return.

Structured Stone Logbook: Maintain a clean studio archive of your project history. Monitor your total stones processed and active average yield percentages across dedicated tracking tabs (In Progress, Completed, Favorites).

Yield Insights & Consumables Tracker: Record technical performance variables including abrasive grit spending, wheel time per station, and finished-to-rough weight ratios to refine your production efficiency.

Tailored Bench Settings: Customize your workspace to match your local defaults by setting your preferred measurement units (Mm), weight units (Carats), changing the startup screen behavior, or toggling haptic feedback and automated log reminders.
