BRASS DOPS WITH 1/4" SHANKS. With 30 different
types and sizes of high quality, brass dops, Graves offers one of the largest selections
of dops in the industry. All of the dops are manufactured from solid brass and come with a
precision turned 1/4" shank. The brass construction of these dops avoids corrosion
problems that can occur with less expensive aluminum. For ease of orientation each of the
flat and cone dops are keyed with a 1/16" hole drilled into the turned shaft.
Rectangular stones that are cut using the Vee dops are easily set by positioning the long
side of the stone square with the lap. |

This attachment is secured to the Graves faceting machine and the V groove provides a
"steady rest" for the dop spindle. Height adjustments are easily made with the
built-in screw. The attachment is excellent for cutting a perfect girdle or for speeding
preforming operations, because it prevents deflection of the dop. Made from brass and
aircraft aluminum and packaged with a full set of instructions and a hex key. |

LAP HOLDER. Store And Protect Your Laps.
Eliminates problems with storage space, contamination and surface damage. This handy

water tight, compact 6" x 8" x 4 1/2" high, with 1/2" plexiglass
construction holds the discs by their edges and prevents them from touching each other.
Since the discs are held in the upright position, water will run-off to minimize potential
rusting. |

phenolic laps. Has a Rockwell hardness of 62 and is easy to use. Just add about 12 drops
of extender fluid to a carat vial of diamond powder and evenly spread over the surface of
the lap. Using the roller, imbed the diamond particles into the surface of the lap so they

straight, overlapping lines, do not roll with the lap revolving. Do not use on metal
bonded laps. |
