Description Slant Cabber 8" Complete
- Our American made Slant Cabber by Hi-Tech Diamond, is a unique angled flat lap machine that allows easy viewing while you grind and polish your pieces. The unique angled design provides improved visibility and allows you to sit while you work instead of standing. Grind flats, re-work quartz crystals or make millimeter and free-form cabochons with this easy-to-use machine. It is also well-suited for cutting, shaping and polishing glass. The Slant Cabber is powered by a 1/4HP, heavy-duty, ball bearing DC motor. This motor is variable speed so you can work at whatever pace you desire, delivering speeds from 800rpm up to 3400rpm. This portable machine can be used anywhere. Whether you are at home, in the shop or even on the road, this quiet machine won't disturb others around you. It is lightweight, sturdy and constructed with ABS plastic which is rust free, making it even easier to travel with. The coolant reservoir holds about one quart of water to prevent heat build-up while you work and removes dust particles so you don't inhale any harsh chemicals. The water supply is auto-feed which allows you to control the water flow while you work. The black splash guard keeps the water off you and prevents you from getting soaked while you work. The clean-up is as simple as it gets. Simply flush the bottom water reservoir with clean water and you are all set to work again. Each Slant Cabber lap machine comes with an accessory kit that allows you to work right out of the box. Our grinding and polishing process makes easy work of finishing quartz, agate, jasper, tourmaline, corundum, opal and a wide variety of natural and synthetic gem material. This kit also works well with glass and enamels.

This machine does the trick however a few things i have learned...
It takes about an hour to polish a rock (depending on hardness of course). i spent about 6 hours on the first one trying to figure it all out
I bought a 260 diamond wheel. To go from 180 to 325 grit was too big a jump and i could never get the scratches out. the 260 saves A LOT of time
Once you go past the 325 grit you aren't getting anymore scratches out. the 600 seems like a wasted disc to me. would be nice to have 180, 260, 325, 1200, 14,000 paste and i think that is the ticket
I tried running at lower RPMs but i see no difference, just crank it up to 6.
Its hard not to push down, i try to only apply gentle pressure and it seems to work good.
very important to wash the pads and the rocks all the time to keep debris off or you will never get a good polish. I have been doing 3 or 4 rocks on one grit, then clean everything, move to next grit and grinding the 4, cleaning everything, etc etc
I store all the discs in freezer bags when not in use to keep debris off
3" and under work best for rock size. You can do 4" or elongated ones but it gets tight with that center knob. Would be nice if they could figure out how to secure from below with a quick disconnect or something so you get the full 8" work space
hope this helps, i have been getting good results now with this process
