  • GREAT investment & quick helpful customer service
Style: 6" Slant Cabber
Let me start by saying- I have a friend who gave me the funds to purchase this amazing machine. I am a diehard Rockhound and have been polishing them by hand for months, which is nice from time to time. But WOW does this speed up the process. It was delivered to me in 2 days. When I unboxed it.. I was in absolute heaven. I read the instruction manual first since I couldn't find many videos on this machine but it's pretty simple. Only thing I struggled with was peeling off the protective plastic from the discs. I have been waiting for months to be able to make cabachons so I could make my wire wrapped rock jewelry quicker. I used it for about a month and something seemed a little off with the balance of it so I called the company and they answered right away. We talked over the phone and I explained what I was concerned about and didn't use it in fear of seizing up the motor. They sent me replacement parts free of charge and shipped them to me rush delivery and I received them in two days. Gosh those 2 days were long.. I put the new parts on and I am back in business! I absolutely love this machine and the customer service even more. I will continue to buy from this company. This thing is very well built. Make sure to clean it after each use and spin dry the discs before storing away. Oil the inside of the arbor every 2 months Make sure the set screw is on the flat part of the arbor and do not over tighten! Make sure the disc is laying flush on the arbor before running it. Always use machine at HIGHEST SPEED. If you are left handed, you are going to get splashed in the face quite a bit .. I'd recommend safety glasses and a mask for sure. I highly recommend purchasing the extended warranty. If you're going to spend a lot on a machine, protect it as well. Enjoy!! ... show more

  • Completely pleased!!
Style: 8" Slant Cabber
This is a wonderful product! I have been using the polisher for two weeks since purchase, and in that time I have logged about 35 hours on it. I am no lapidary genus so simplicity is important, and this works well for someone of my skill level and above. I had one brief scare - the water system required(s) greater than a 45 degree angle of the drip hose to operate properly and it took a couple of days to figure that out - but once done, it just works great. One suggestion based on some Youtube videos I watched. if you want to but one, consider purchasing a couple more 8in disks with greater and lesser grit ratings. I bought discs with 80 and 240 grit, along with some additional polishing paste (gt 14,000). These additional purchases helped achieve really nice finished agates. Anyway, this is a great product! ... show more

  • Great machine!
Style: 8" Slant Cabber
The media could not be loaded. I just rec'd this yesterday and immediately set it up and started grinding rocks! It was definitely a learning experience...and I expect to get better at it. I must have spent 4-5 hours on the first disc, #180. This is the one used to reshape your rock before you begin the polishing process. I think I'll be more selective in choosing rocks to polish from herein. :) I have a lot of huge raw Petoskeys that I will be polishing. The cabber was easy to set up and the instructions were clear and direct. I set it up in my laundry room, on my dryer. (Placed a rug over the dryer to protect it.) The drain tube I routed into the laundry sink...but I noticed the water had sediment in it (the rock particles) so I was worried about it going into the drain and ultimately our septic tank/field. So I placed an empty gallon milk jug into the laundry tub and routed the drain tube into that. When needed, I would dump the waster water outside, and kept a gallon of fresh water to add to the reservois. The cabber was at the perfect height, for standing. I tried to sit on a stool but found it was easier to just stand up. This was a big investment, for a hobby, but I'm glad I bought it. If you want to polish rocks, this is a good way to do it! ... show more

  • Compact cabber is a great option for limited workspace
Style: 8" Slant Cabber
The cabber is very compact, easy to set up and works great. The only thing I dislike is how it drains. I have mine set up on a small cart in my back patio and cover with a tarp when done. I bought a small rack for drying and storage of the wheels. For those with limited workspace, this cabber is a great option. ... show more

  • Great for a beginner like me!
Style: 6" Slant Cabber
I'm loving this lapidary machine! I'm new to the art, so I feel this was a great investment for my skillset. I was tempted to purchase the one that takes the 8" disks, but the 6" disks are perfect! The largest cabs I've made so far have been 40x30mm and the 6" disks allow me plenty of room to play. The whole setup is really simple and the way the discs are propped up at an angle make it easy to sit down while you work. The splash guard also works really well and I'm never soaked afterwards. Directions are included and really easy to follow. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is new to Lapidary work and doesn't want to spend over a grand on machinery. All you need is a bucket to collect the used water! ... show more

  • Well made equipment. Just good all around quality
Style: 8" Slant Cabber
Everything fits nicely, a real smooth drive and it's a well made uncomplicated machine. I am gonna order some coarser diamond laps though to get a flat surface quicker/easier. The slab saw at our "community" rock shop where I live is kinda worn out and the slabs come out more corrugated than I would like. The 180 diamond lap that came with my slant cabber needs a big brother(s) I think so I am ordering a 60 an 80 and a 100 to "knock down the hills and valleys" in my slabs. Nice to have that option, order online and have the discs delivered to my door. :^) ... show more
