Lapidary Grinding and Polishing

At FACETS we feel the following
cabbing machines are the absolute best value for your money on the market today. These Diamond Pacific Cabbing Machines are top performers because of their diamond wheels, efficient design and quality construction. Therefore they will make short work of shaping and polishing your gemstones.
These durable units used by professionals and hobbyists alike, require NO special hook-ups or plumbing, and operate on a standard 110V outlet (A similar motor is available for export operating on 230 volts 50 HZ). First and foremost, all six wheels are mounted at once so you can proceed from one step to the next during the entire grinding, polishing operation, without wasting time to change wheels. All units come mounted on a Formica baseboard, with a spra-mist coolant system (that provides plenty of water to the wheels while you work, keeping your stones cool and the rock dust down), manual and safety glasses which must be worn when operating any of the following machines.
