but never used it (I facet backwards – girdle last). The black stick is a handle for preforming stones by hand. The original Graves transfer fixture is on the left. The girdling attachment in front of the transfer fixture attaches to the base to allow for rapid preforming before cutting the girdle.

This is a recent Graves Mark IV in excellent condition. I have cut a lot of stones on it.

The base has been repainted to match the original. It has a variable speed control and brand new belt. It has the original gooseneck light (permanently attached, not visible in the photos) a new Graves water tank and belt and plenty of accessories. Other than those it’s all original, nothing has ever been monkeyed with. We had it serviced by a technician and it’s perfectly aligned. It has the original index plates, 96, 32, 64, 72, and

80. Also a quickie nut which saves time changing laps. Has a Graves transfer fixture, and a new Graves preformer kit that  we took out of the plastic but never used. And a girdling attachment works but again has never been used. The black stick is a handle for hand preforming (again never used). It has 5 index plates – 96 (on the handpiece in the photos), 32, 64, 72, and 80. These are used for designs with a different outline, and you can cut many more designs other than the standard 96 (for 3 6, 9, 12 sided designs). Also the allen key for the dop holder, the standard lap nut, and a “quickie nut” which goes on with just a twist, it makes the laps faster to change. The master lap doesn’t come with the machine. It comes with a dop holder and 32 dops, there is one for every occasion and some you’ll probably never use. The silver ones are aluminum, the rest are brass from Graves (as far as we can tell the table dop is not from Graves).

This is an insane price for a tried and true, plug & play faceting machine.
