CROWNING ATTACHmENT. Perfect Crown Every Time! Used with the Graves Preformer, this tool provides a quick and easy way to grind perfect crowns on your cabochons. First the outline of the cabochon is shaped on the preformer. The 1/4” 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 handle accepts any 1/4” dop and the Preformer (see page 7) can be mounted to almost any lapidary grinding machine. Complete instructions are included.Item No. 13-035 (1/2 lb.)

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 HEAD AND mASTThe faceting heads and mast for the Mark I and Mark IV are designed and manufac-tured to the highest standards thus insuring the accurate grinding and faceting of the gemstones. The stainless steel dop spindle is machined within a concentricity of 0.001 inches and the double set of sealed, preci-sion, stainless steel ball bearings insure the accurate grinding and polishing of facets. The mast consists of a 5/8" precision ground, stainless steel shaft which is pressed into the base plate. The base of this entire as-sembly is then machined square with the mast to assure proper alignment. A radial vernier (cheater) permits micro rotation of the dop to completely polish a previously ground facet. The faceting head can be set

to a free-wheeling position which permits preforming of the stone by continu-ously rotating the gem at a specific angle. A chrome radial vernier (cheater), and an engraved 32-toothed index plate, to make learning easy, are standard equipment. The Faceting Head tilts into a spring-loaded locked position for quick stone inspection, or the entire head can be easily removed from the mast. The Graves faceting head includes an angle indicator with a 1/10 degree vernier for accurate measurement.

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.

28 FACETING ROUGH

SEE OUR WEBSITE FOR UP TO DATE ROUGH LISTINGS

TOP QUALITY FACETING ROUGHThe purchase of faceting rough by mail can be disappointing and trying, especially when you are forced to take the whole lot or nothing. Graves recognizes that all rough is not equally acceptable to all facetors. Therefore we have made it as easy as possible for you to examine each and every piece at your convenience and select only the pieces that are acceptable to you.

FACETING ROUGH, as supplied by Graves, is selected from the best quality gemstones available for a reasonable price; giving our customers the best value. Natural rough varies considerably in quality from mine to mine and depending on availability, will vary in price. As a gemstone buyer you can take advantage of our unconditional “SATISFACTION GUARANTEED” policy, which allows the discriminating buyer ample opportunity to examine each stone for accept-ability. Stones which are unacceptable, for whatever reason, can be returned (US Mail Insured) for full credit, exchange or refund. This policy applies to all faceting rough that Graves supplies. Remember: You are under no obligation to keep any of the rough that you purchase from us.

If you have a specific requirement and would like us to select a piece from our stock, just specify the minimum carat size of the rough and we will do our best to satisfy your needs. Cabbing rough is also available on our website, WWW. GRAVESCOMPANY.COM.

SYNTHETIC ROUGH

SAPPHIRES AND CORUNDUM. Man made rough that duplicates the chemical composition and colors of the better quality natural rough without the flaws and imperfections normally found in natural gemstones. The colors, hardness and high refractive index (1.76) make these stones a close duplicate of the natural faceted stones.Cutting Angles - Pavilion: 42o Crown 400. Hardness 9, Refractive Index 1.76.

GRAVES - yOUR TOTAL SUPPLIER

BLACK BLAZER DIAmOND BLADES. These are the best high performance, continuous rim blades available today. A deeper kerf depth and higher diamond concentration give this diamond blade a decided edge over the competition.. The Black Blazer features a diamond rich formulation and is used where better overall economy resulting from maximum cutting life and high performance is required.

EUROCUTTER DIAmOND BLADES. Quality diamond blades with a steel core and metal bonded diamond edge. The thin kerf reduces loss of gem material and exhibits almost no chipping. Used in many overseas production lapidaries. 1/4 lb. each.

Graves Tech NotesHow Do Diamond Blades Work?

Diamond Blades don’t really cut like a knife, they grind. During the process, individual diamond crystals are exposed on the outside edge and sides of the rim. These ex[posed surface diamonds do the grinding work. The metal matrix locks each diamond in place. Trailing behind each exposed diamond is a “bond tail” (also called comet tail) which helps support the diamond.

While the blade rotates on the arbor shaft of the saw the stone is pushed into the blade. The blade begins to grind (cut) through the stone, while the stone begins wearing away the blade.

Exposed, surface diamonds score the stone, grinding it into a fine powder. Embedded diamonds remain beneath the surface.

Exposed diamonds crack or fracture as they cut, breaking down into even smaller pieces. Hard, dense rocks cause the diamonds to fracture even faster. The stone also begins wearing away the metal matrix through abrasion. Highly abrasive rocks will cause the matrix to wear faster, al-lowing new layers of diamond to continue cutting. This is the purpose of periodically “dressing” the blade with an abrasive block.

PROSLICER DIAmOND BLADES. Cut Fast, Thin And Smooth. Thinnest kerf available saves you money when cutting valuable gem material. Special manufacturing techniques go into making the ProSlicer last longer, cut thinner, and cost less than comparable diamond blades.

mETEORITE CBN BLADES. Only Choice for Cutting Metallics. Our Meteorite Blades are made with CBN (carbon boron nitrate). Unlike diamond, which suffers badly when cutting metals, our CBN blades can handle iron and stoney meteorites, most metals, and many composites. Fast cutting and minimal material loss from our thin edge. Must be used with a coolant such as DiaCut in higher concen-trations or preferably our Kool Kut oil.
