FEATURES OF CABBING MACHINE:

• The 8” model of cabbing machine is backed by a 1 HP strong motor. The direct-drive, single shaft motor comes with thermal protected ball bearing and copper windings. It’s designed by our team of technicians for heavy-duty grinding. This ensures long-lasting potentiality of the machine. 
• The base of the machine is made of cast Aluminium. It’s durable, sturdy and adds sufficient weight to the machine, which is important to keep it steady and well-balanced while operating.
• The machine sits on a solid wooden board which is water-proof. This ensures it does not get deformed due to prolonged exposure to water. It further helps to maintain the stability of the machine.
• The spacing between the lapidary wheels is ample to establish a comfortable working area to perform cabbing on larger stones as well. This allows you to use even side rims of the wheels without any hindrance.
• The stainless steel hood on the top of the cab machine can be easily raised for inspection, easy mounting/unmounting of wheels, and cleaning, as per your convenience.
• The left shaft of the machine utilises 2 Hard Diamond wheels ( #100, #260 grits) and 1 Soft Resin Bond wheel (#260) which is the coarsest among other Resin Wheels. The right side shaft of the machine utilises 3 Soft Resin bond wheels (#600, #1200, #3000 grits.) An ideal sequence of wheels is achieved with this placement for the cabbing process. It allows you to begin and move from the leftmost wheel for grinding to the next wheel on right for finer process of grinding and polishing.
• The shaft is tapped for ½”-20 at both ends to house spin-on polish heads, aluminium laps, diamond facet laps, polish pads, etc. These laps can be mounted by removing the side covers at the ends and then utilise the laps according to your convenience.
• The cabbing machine consists of a 1” versatile shaft which can accept a variety of 1” arbor hole size wheels such as silicon carbide, diamond wheels, or rubber expandable drums, as per your utility.
• The stainless steel side covers are removable to allow usage of a polishing lap or a felt polishing pad and for easy cleaning and maintenance of the cab machine.
• It has an adjustable drip water system with shut off valves made of Brass to control the flow of water on the wheels. This ensures that the process of cutting cabochons is smooth and avoids overheating of the wheels.
• It also has a systemised drainage system to eliminate the accumulation of draining water in the machine.
• It comes with an in-built adjustable bright LED lamp for optimum vision during cutting and polishing gemstones.
• The speed of the motor is at a steady 1425 RPM, which is an ideal speed required for cutting fine and accurate stone cabochons.

Features:

• The motor is isolated from the faceting unit and rotation of the laps is facilitated using a belt between the motor and the faceting unit via an idler pulley and 2 step pulleys (one below each splash guard).
• The idler pulley can be used for tightening the belt. The motor plate can also be moved in and out for this purpose.
• The 2 step pulleys have multiple steps of different diameters that are used to control the rotation speed.
• The facetor unit consists of a metal handpiece (with a rubber grip) that comes with an indexing gear at its end and 3 D-blocks for angle adjustment. Each of these D-blocks has an angle protractor that can be locked at different angles at which the stone has to be cut and polished. These are made of high-quality Bronze and Brass components. 
• Angle adjustment on the protractor of the D-block is easy and precise. It comes with divisions of 1° from 0-90, allowing the stone to become completely horizontal or vertical with respect to the lap. 
• The facetor unit is mounted on a vertical mast and can be moved up or down for height adjustment or even lifted off entirely for setting-up or inspection.
• The mast can be moved in and out towards the laps (and fixed, once done) to change the position where the gemstone should be applied on the lap.
• The facetor handpiece can be easily moved from one lap to the other. The movement is smooth and facilitated by ball bearings.
• The indexing method for the facetor is simple. The indexing gear comes with a standard 64 divisions (can be 96 divisions if requested) to control the position of facets on the stone and can be adjusted to achieve different shapes.
• The motor and faceting unit is mounted on a heavy base made of cast iron with zinc-coated steel legs and rubber grips to ensure stability and balance during rotation, which is very important to get precise results. 
• Both splash guards are removable. This can come in handy when faceting and polishing the girdle of the stone. The stone can be applied purely horizontally to the laps in this case.
• A separate table polisher is installed around the polishing splash guard for polishing the table for your stone. 
• The machine has a compact form factor which makes it portable and easy to use.

• 1 Pc. Table polisher
• 2 Pc. 25 Ct. Diamond Powder Pack (#14000 and #8000)

Working:

• The gemstone is attached to the dop stick of the facetor handpiece with the help of a glue. You can choose to either do the pavilion side or the crown side first. Attach the stone accordingly.
• The other end of the facetor handpiece has an indexing gear. This end is placed and locked on any of the D-blocks set at the desired angle.
• Once the dop stick is set up with a gemstone and placed on a D-block with the desired angle, the gem can be applied to the rotating grinding lap for faceting.
• The indexing gear can be rotated and set at different values to work on different facets.
• The handpiece can be transferred to a different angled D-block and the same process can be repeated to get different-angled facets if required.
• After faceting is complete, the handpiece can be moved to the polishing lap and the same process can be repeated for polishing your stone.
• Once you have completed faceting and polishing either the pavilion side or the crown side of the stone, use the transfer jig provided to change the orientation of the stone for faceting and polishing the other side.
• Once the stone is attached using transfer jig, repeat the above process.

FEATURES:

• The machine is powered by a direct-drive 220 watt brushless DC (BLDC) motor. BLDC motors are the highest-standard DC motors popular for their long life and precise speed control. The motor offers variable speeds up to 3000 RPM.
• Accurate angle adjustment with a clear indicator and a precision of 1 decimal place.
• Convenient and quick index adjustment. The design allows changing of index quickly with single-handed use. This makes faceting and polishing fast and convenient. The machine comes with a 96 indexing gear installed and a spare 72 indexing gear.
• A cheater adjustment wheel is provided in the facetor for those fine adjustments to the index, sometimes necessary to produce perfect facets.
• The base plate is an 8mm thick sturdy and finely ground industrial-grade fabricated Aluminium. So you can be assured the machine is mounted on a steady base.
• Doping is fast and precise. The machine comes with a set of brass dop sticks that are keyed. Therefore, they are locked in the doping chuck in the exact position every time.
• The indicator dial indicates whether the stone has been cut at the exact angle. The dial indicator reading will show a non-zero reading if the angle of cut on the stone is different from the machine’s angle. A zero reading indicates a perfect angled cut is achieved. This comes in quite handy especially if you are a beginner.
• The mast can be loosened, moved, and tightened easily. Its ground finished so the faceting unit can be moved up and down smoothly. It is equipped with a fine height adjustment knob on top.
• The machine is equipped with a drip water system with an adjustable hose and flow control. 
• The machine comes with a white light powerful LED lamp with an adjustable gooseneck.
• Cutting & polishing the girdle is super easy on the machine. Also, the facetor comes with a setting for free rotation. This is very handy for making smooth round girdles.
• Cutting & polishing the table of the stone can be easily done using a 45-degree adapter that comes with the machine. The adapter essentially reduces 45 degrees from the reading on the angle indicator of the machine. Therefore, to achieve a 0-degree angle (which is required to make the table), the machine can be set at 45 degrees while using the 45-degree adapter.
• A water drainage outlet is provisioned on the side of the base. Water drains from the bottom of the splash guard to this outlet.
