The CABKING-6V3 is an universal grinder/polisher for gemstones. It is configured with
2 hard diamond electroplated wheels, 4 resin diamond wheels, 1 full face diamond flat
lap, and 1 canvas polishing disc for use with the included diamond compound. The
motor on the CABKING-6V3 is direct drive which means a smaller, compact unit with
no belts or other parts to maintain or replace. The water system on the CABKING-6V3
is unique and allows you to independently control water spray on the wheels. Make
sure you use adequate water when grinding and monitor the pump
bucket to avoid running dry. If the wheels become covered with
stone residue you should increase the water flow. Another ad-
vantage to our water system is that you can adjust the spray angle
on the wheels. This will allow you to use wheels of various widths.
You can adjust the nozzles located at the end of the Y-SPLIT un-
der the hood see FIG H. While you can use the CABKING-6V3 to
grind all kinds of shapes and designs, the general process of mak-
ing a cabochon is described below.
To make the cabochon start with the hard diamond wheels on the left which will allow
you to create a domed shape from your rough stone. You can choose to hold your
stone free hand or on a dop stick. Begin with the 80 grit diamond wheel and be sure to
completely grind the surface of the stone using adequate water coolant. If the stone is
not ground thoroughly scratching will occur. Making sure that all scratches are re-
moved is the most important part of grinding the cabochon. Repeat this process for the
220 grit wheel. Next move onto the resin wheel sequence, which will sand and smooth
the stone resulting in a pre-polished cab.
Note: New resin wheels may bleed some of
their pigment.
This is entirely normal and will not affect your stones.
Start with the 280 grit and grind thoroughly, moving onto the next wheel when finished.
After you finish the sequence of 600, 1200, to 3000 grit, the stone will be ready for pol-
ishing. Make sure you are adjusting the spot light as you are grinding to provide addi-
tional light. This light will be adequate for most situations, but you may require a sepa-
rate light source for additional brightness.
