== Sources ==
This building becomes available after you have learned the {{RequireSkill | Lapidary | 0}} skill. They are used to shape [[Cuttable Gems|cuttable gems]] into various [[Cut Gems]].

Gem Cutting Tables cannot be rotated during placement.

If you have a '''Specimen Case''' (a pre-order special item) you can place a partially cut gem in the case and work on it later.

* Have the Specimen Case in your inventory
* Work the gem until you are ready to stop
* Select Finish Cutting and scroll to the end of the list and select: Unique Specimen
* You will be given a box to name it e.g. BlockHeadCut
* It will show in your inventory with this name and replaces the Specimen Case in your inventory
* When you load the gem into the table again your specimen case will return to your inventory

== Cost ==
* {{Require | 6 | Brass Small Gears}}
* {{Require | 3 | Cut Stone}}
* {{Require | 6 | White Sand}}
* {{Require | 30 | Rope}}
* {{Require | 12 | Steel Wire}}

Built in a [[Compound]]. Uses 17x17 cells.

== Upgrade with Fine Balance ==
{{#subobject:|requires=Skill/Lapidary/2|Is upgrade=true|Has benefit=Add a fine balance to the table|Has parent={{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
* 2 [[requires::Cut Gems#Queen.27s Tomb|Queen's Tomb Sunstones]] Tc:[[Fine Balance]]

Adds a balance to a gem cutting table, measuring a gem's weight.

== Upgrade table to Fracture Gems ==
{{#subobject:|requires=Skill/Lapidary/1|Is upgrade=true|Has benefit=Allows player to sheer gems|Has parent={{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
* Requires 1 [[requires::Gem Shearing Chisel]], 5 [[requires::Iron Bar]]s, 10 [[requires::Bolt]], 10 [[requires::Washer]]

This upgrade option is only available if you know [[Fine Balance]]

Once installed, it allows you to fracture large gems into between 0 and 7 smaller gems. The amount is random each time you fracture the gem.

== Use ==

Allows cutting of [[Cuttable Gems]] into [[produces::Cut Gems]] of various types.

Cutting gems consists of trying to cut a semi-randomly shaped gem into a specific pattern. There is no room for error and the final product must be 100% accurate. The gem is cut by rotating the gem on its X,Y, or Z axis as needed, and cutting it with 1 of 3 blades on the table. The blades, and the type of cut they apply, are shown in the image below.

== Tip ==

There are a number of hotkeys that move the gem. The mouse must be at the junction of the gem and the table for the hotkeys to work.
