Dave Atlas has a chart too - find him through the appraisers links.

It is not that easy to answer your question.

This is for table sizes around 56-57%.
Red is good.
The numbers are HCA numbers - link up the top - cut adviser.

But it assumes you can get the crown and pavilion angles.

An easier option is to just buy a $25 ideal-scope because you will not easily find the data you need.

I am novice that this, but what I was looking for was the paremters of depth and table. How would I know what paremters falls in the Ideal, VG, Good, etc...category?
