CROWNING ATTACHMENT. Perfect Every Time! Used with the Graves Preformer, this tool provides a quick and easy way to grind perfect on your cabochons. First the outline of the cabochon 1 is shaped on the preformer. The /4” dop, with the stone, is then inserted into the crowning attachment handle (making re-dopping unnecessary) and the pivot bar is attached to the Preformer. By using any one of several pivot points, you can form the stone with high, low or perfectly round slopes. To shape the cabochon just move the handle up and down and side to side with the stone against the grinding wheel. Slowly advance the stone to the wheel, using the Preformer’s micrometer stop, until the flat spot in the middle of the stone disappears. Because the pivot point of the handle is fixed you can get a perfect radius of curvature. The 1 handle accepts any /4” dop and the Preformer (see page 7) can be mounted to almost any lapidary grinding machine. Complete instructions are included. 1 Item No. 13-035 ( /2 lb.) $39.95 CROWNING ATTACHMENT FOR PERFECT CABS

There’s No Need for Water Coolant 1 - Small and Lightweight. Measures 9” X 13” and Weighs Just 8 /4 lbs. - Generates No Heat. Perfect for Opal, Turquoise and Other Delicate Stones

The spool, made from a phenolic resin, exclusive to the Graves machine, will not warp, crack or chip and does not generate heat making it perfect for the polishing of delicate stones. The spool is manufactured to accept 6 different grades of diamond grit and designed so you can polish either flat or curved surfaces. To use the polisher just take a dopped cabochon that has been ground on a 220 grit grinding wheel and apply a dab of 325 grit diamond compound to the first hub on the polisher. Work the stone into the 2 inch section of the revolving spool. The gem is then wiped clean and the next finer grit is applied to the adjacent section. The process is repeated (with an occasional drop of extender fluid) until all six steps have been completed. It takes only a few minutes and after several cabs have been finished, the spool will become charged and only an occasional dab of compound will be needed to recharge the unit.

EXPANDING DRUMS. A Must For Sanding & Polishing Belts. For cabbers, the best way to obtain smooth, highly polished stones. The soft, pliable rubber expands during rotation to grip the sanding or polishing belts. Changes are made quickly and easily by sliding the belts from the drum. At low speed, the flexible surface wraps around curved surfaces for increased contact of the work piece. When used at high speed, the drum surface acts like a hard rubber grinding wheel. Use with diamond or silicon carbide belts. The heavy machined hubs are supplied with bushings to fit 1”, 3/4”, 5/8” and 1/2” arbors (1/2” long).

FACETING BOOKS START ON PAGE 46 22 MARK 5XL DIGITAL FACETING MACHINE

Graves Company is proud to introduce the Mark 5XL Faceting Machine featuring our digital angle display meter. This revolutionary design allows users to truly “cut to the numbers” utilizing a simple digital display that is stable, repeatable, and accurate. The new Graves Mark 5XL faceting head features a combination of simplicity in design, ease of use, and state of the art precision that is beyond anything on the market today. This design has been extensively field tested by actual faceters, both amateur and professional. The Mark 5XL faceting head features an electronic angle scale that is repeatable to better than .02 degrees, calibrated 0-90 degrees to 2 arc-minutes (+/-.03 degrees). Precision laboratory grade electronics are used throughout the design all housed in solid CNC machined aluminum. In cutting tests, it has approxi- mately ten times the sensitivity of an LED “Down Light”, and allows cutting “To the Numbers”. This method of faceting allows you set your angle, index setting and depth, then simply let the easy to read digital display tell you when to stop cutting. A little practice and you will be amazed at how easy and fast you can finish a beautiful faceted gemstone. A ¾ inch case hardened stainless steel mast provides rigidity to avoid over cutting due to mast defection. The coarse height adjustment collar will not drop when loosened and provides a fast setting. The fine height adjustment is a 1 inch micrometer head with .001” increment marking. A solid aluminum quill and main housing with precision sealed ball bearings to support the quill and angle shaft, and a durable e-coat finish complete the de- sign. A 9 volt battery powers the electronics providing up to 250 hours of cutting time. No wires or power supplies to get in the way. We are proud of this new addition to our product line. Graves Company continues to be the leader in providing durable, innovative, and affordable tools to the lapidary arts.
