A Revolutionary Approach to Cabochon Grinding Machines.
A friend of mine in collaboration with a design engineer and marketed through Kingsley North Inc., has hit the lapidary world by storm. After several decades of lapidary work, I had wished for someone to devise a way to eliminate the need for changing the water in the trays so often. That singular problem presented other problems with the quality of workmanship which in turn required additional hours of rework of material. As we all have noticed, if the water is not clean on the conventional geyser type machines, you will introduce fine particles of material to a stone you are working, possibly scratching the newly exposed surface. At the very least, the sludge will eventually cause the pumping mechanism to become clogged requiring down time to remedy. This is of a major concern when you have a number of stones to produce. The developers of CabKing have engineered a way for a continuous flow of clean water as well as a way for the contaminated water to be removed, allowing for a more user friendly machine. I have purchased this product and found it to be everything it was promised to be. If there was anything I would change about the machine, it would be to use a better quality of polishing wheels. I am completely spoiled and have already sold all of my previous machines and replaced them with multiple CABKING’s. Below is a copy of the ad directly from Kingsley North Inc.
