› Forums › Faceting Machines › Dops for Alpha Taurus
Hi,
someone gave me an Alpha Taurus Faceting machine but without dops.
This faceting machine use dop with diameter of 5/16.
Does anyone know where I can get this kind of dop?
Thank
I believe the old 5/16″ LEE brand dops are keyed the same and will fit the Alpha Taurus machine. Last summer Beckham’s Barn Rock and Gem Shop in Irma, SC had a used set of LEE dops for sale. If you can’t find a better set you may want to give Joan a call and see if she still has them. Here is a link to her web page: http://www.beckhamsbarn.com/
And here is the image she emailed me of the set she has:

Sorry but I was unable to figure out how to insert the image in the above post. So here is a link:

Same as facetron dops
@moregems – Sorry but no, not the same as the Facetron Dops. The OP states that his Alpha Taurus machine uses 5/16″ diameter dops. The Facetron Dops are 1/4″ dops. Also Facetron dops are keyed differently than the 5/16″ diameter Alpha Taurus dops. They are not interchangeable.

kaeluan if it take the LEE dop i have some and i can make sets too. if you don’t find any on ebay get back to me. i dont use brass, i make them of aluminum less expensive, i only charge for cost of the material and the shipping, so lot cheaper. i do think you can get some on ebay though.
