Thank you all for watching this lapidary video with my new lapidary equipment, my cabbing machine, the cabber 6 from kingsley north. I had a blast polishing this lake superior agate, which is the state gemstone of Minnesota and my favorite mineral to find while out rockhounding. Funny enough, I found this agate stone on a short rock hunting adventure where it was found in a pile of rocks! Such a lucky find, thats how rockhounding and finding minerals goes sometimes. The polishing of this agate went very well and I look forward to showing many more lapidary videos with my cabbing machine.

I just bought a bunch of different obsidian to cab. Nice to see another person using just your fingers to grind and polish. I’ve been using a cabking for a little over a year and have gain some good skill with it. Thanks for the vid, keep up the grind!!👍

@francoiselandriault8164 9 месяцев назад

I just bought this cab machine 3 weeks ago. I love it but mind you, this is my first cab machine so I really can't compare it with the other ones on the market. I'm still learning to use it but I'm actually very happy with the results. I just can't stop grinding and polishing my rocks. The coming winter won't be boring at all.

That is quite a machine. I'm sure it'll get lots of use. I spent a couple days on the south shore of Lake Superior last summer and was blown over by the variety of stones. I was excited to find Yooperlites (and I did) but the Lake Superior Unakite quickly became my passion. The stings if green running through them are gorgeous!! Keep up the amazing content and have a ROCKIN' 2022!!

@VincentsRockGarage 2 года назад

Congratulations on the new machine. Don't be afraid to use those hard diamond wheels - the DP wheels will last you a good long time. I spent a good chunk of time learning how to navigate my hands around the wheels to prevent my knuckles and fingertips from being "bit" by the other wheels...especially the edges. It will become easier as you practice. Happy Grinding!

@jamesscott1932 2 года назад

Wow, what a unit! Kingsley North will send a catalog to anyone who calls them with that request. It’s a super company to deal with. Next time you go to use the cerium oxide pad, try making a slurry with cerium oxide to put on your stone as you run it on the pad.

@AgateDad 2 года назад

I’m pretty sure it’s a cerium oxide infused pad

@jamesscott1932 2 года назад

Yes, agreed. You can always wash off the slurry if you don’t like it.

Hi, Ya know, I've been thinking 'I want one of those 6 wheel do-flinkies' until today. I don't think my fingers would survive it!!! Lol. Your agate came out fantstic!!! But your fingers paid the price. I'm a big baby and after one scrape I'd be saying a few choice words and crying with pain. See, told you I'm a big ole baby!!! But I really enjoyed watching you make such a beautiful piece!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours!!! Take care, stay safe, healthy and happy.

My friend I have to say this video right here is in my top 3 to top 5 of my favorites that you’ve done. I loved it and have been on the fence about buying one of these but you have definitely changed my mind. Only thing is that they are so expensive sadly but hopefully I can save and get me one this year or next. When I do I promise I’ll use your code or whatever it is to show I bought because of you. Thanks Taylor love the video bro and hope you and your family have a wonderful, healthy year ahead my friend.

@harlanmorrisson6490 2 года назад

You are really getting addicted to this rock thing (got the same problem ) if you decide to go with solid Diamond wheels sometime in the future you might look at what Jade carver (the store ) has to offer. He has standard flat wheels and also shaped wheels with angles and radiuses with great prices !

@cowboyits 2 года назад

Nice agate and congratulations on the cab king ! I lucked out and found a used 8" Raytech Gem Maker with 2 hard wheels and 2 expandable drums, the arbor is so much faster than the lap. I've found that standing up while using the arbor give me a little better angle on the wheels and helps me from hitting the other wheels with my hands. I still use my Hi Tech for all my flat surfaces thou. Good luck & enjoy

@MichiganRocks 2 года назад

I agree that standing is the way to use a cabbing machine. It might not be as important when face polishing a rock like Taylor did, but it is if you're making a cab and trying to see the girdle line.

@maiguapa8 2 года назад

Hey, you can make use of some co-band to wrap your fingers with. That’s what I learned. Hope it helps.

Nice. I have heard if you can pretty much make those white fractures invisible if you soak the face polished agate in room temp mineral oil overnight.

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Interesting

@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353 Год назад

Turned out beautifully! I think all wheels spinning is a flaw! There should be an on/off switch to other wheels that aren't in use so people don't get scraped by the wheel next to you. Or have safety guards...

@margiebrown7436 2 года назад

Hey Taylor, you will notice a lot of people use dopping sticks when using a cabbing machine and now you know why.

@AgateDad 2 года назад

this stone was too big to dop

@raystevens687 2 года назад

Well another fine job. Yea you need to watch out for those wheels it hurts.. how I know I was cleaning my belt sander with what I call the Eraser it looks like an over sized Eraser got to close to the belt and got bit a couple of times. Anyway keep practicing you will be a real pro with that machine. Going now thanks Ray in Idaho

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Thanks 👍

@OriginalSithMonkey 2 года назад

Nice work. Really liking these machines the more I learn about them. I thinkthe stainless steel housing and the motor being separate from the machine and replaceable are two great selling points. Everyone is always on the cabking bandwagon, but once the motor goesout it's game over for the machine. You really should wear a mask when doing this though. Silicosis is no joke. Just because it's wet doesn't make it completely safe. If you can smell it, it's airborne.

@mjoyparks 2 года назад

That was awesome! I used your “AGATEDAD” code to buy a new saw blade for my Hi-Tech Diamond saw. I found a colorful chunk of chert in my brother-in-law’s cornfield and it took a whole hour to cut once through it. Hopefully a different blade will go faster.

@jamesscott1932 2 года назад

One hour to cut through a rock that was probably no larger than your hand is excessive. Have you tried dressing the blade you have? When doing number seven and harder Stones, I keep the dressing stone close by and use it after every cut.

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Yeah a new blade should go quicker lol

@AgateDad 2 года назад

@mjoyparks 2 года назад

@@jamesscott1932 thank you for telling me about dressing the saw blade. I watched some videos about it. The blade I’ve been using is supposed to be dressed with a brick. I didn’t realize this needed to happen frequently. Thank you for putting this on my radar.

@lynnbruski3040 2 года назад

That's stunning. My only thought is... why do all wheels have to be moving?

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Its on a arbor shaft.. You may need 6 seperate motors or a lot more engineering going on to make that happen, which will likely cause the price to spike.

@gengoosekhan 2 года назад

To avoid the hand abrasions, it might be a good time to invest in a Doping Wax Melter and Doping Sticks. They take time getting used to using, but give you a safer reach.

That came out great! Awesome stuff man! I definitely hit my fingers a few good times when I first used the cab kings at the gem club hahha. Luckily the flat lap doesn’t have that issue. And I was wondering, what is that to the left of the first wheel? At first it looked like a cutting blade then I saw the black part too. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a 360 grit disc for light grinding of the back of cabs, that’s what the manual said at least.
