Howdy all, I am looking for a faceting head and mast, perhaps you have upgraded your set up and have one collecting dust? I have to wait to purchase the new fancy ones but thought if someone has an old one collecting dust, I might be able to send a few bucks your way for it  . I have some homemade equipment but would like a little more precision when it comes to faceting gems. Let me know if you do, you can send me a message or post it here, which ever is easiest for you, thanks for looking, rock on. |

Thank you for all who checked this out, I just picked of a partial one. Once I get it in, I will post some pictures of it and see if anyone has extra parts for it, thank you all. |

That one is from B&I Industries and was used with the B&I Gem Maker machines that were sold by Sears, Earth Industries and a few others. These faceting heads don't use standard 1/4" diameter shank dops and the original dops for these machines are rarer than hen's teeth. So you would probably have to make your own dops or have a machine shop make them for you.

Thanks for the info, that gives me a direction to look for how the mast is supposed to be. When it gets here I will have to measure it and custom make up dops, thanks, every bit of info helps

Need more help, I cannot find any information on this Faceting head. If anyone happens to have a pdf, manual, or a link that could help me rebuild the mast or any other parts to this piece I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
