  • great machine
I have been cabbing for almost 15 years. I have a Loritone from the 70's that takes SiC belts on 2 8" Expando drums It is a good machine, but it is big and belt driven and has to be stopped every 2 grit sizes to change belts. My wife told me to get a new one. After a ton of research I went with the CabKing. It is a very well built and well thought out system The 2 hard wheels make very fast work of roughing out your cabs. Both are excellent quality. The 4 remaining resin bond soft wheels are great for working up to final polish. Not as fast or aggressive as the hard wheel, they are still 10 times fast than SiC belts. Moving on to the 14K paste on the end pad was great. It does take a bit to get a good charge worked into the pad but I used less than 1/4 of a gram (the syringe was filled to 2 1/4 grams). Occasional refreshing should done probably every 10 stones or so. The system also come with a 360 grit flat lap for working flat backs. This is honestly almost as much fun as the grinding wheels. It works very well and I will be adding a lot more grits to work some flats up to polish. The left side of the unit accepts standard 1/2 arbor laps (again 6") so a good lap backer and some diamond disks can be used to work like a flat lap on the cheap (laps are around $25 and disks at around $12)Everything on the machine is easy to use. The water trays come off easy, the side panels are removable, the splash guards can be moved around as can the hand rests. The water spray system is brilliant. A very well made pond pump is attached (via a brass reducer valve) to the standard vinyl tubing (I think it is aquarium air tubing). This tees into the 2 hoods. Each wheel as a triple jet spray nozzle (adjustable) and there are spray nozzles for each arbor end for the laps. All are adjustable and can be turned on and off separate. No worries about cross contamination as the wheels are provided with fresh water at all times. You will need a couple 5 gallon buckets. One for the fresh water and the pump, and one for the dirty waste water. The motor has a built in GFI and a waterproof on off switch. The motor is mounted to a sturdy waterproof baseboard with nice rubber feet. The trays set in some grommets build into the baseboard. They are a little difficult to get lined up perfectly but you get used to it pretty quick. The trays have drain connectors at the back. The hoses for these drains are the only real let down in the system. It is very thin walked flex tubing (like dishwasher drain tubing). It is very hard to push into the drains as it collapses too easy. I had mine pop off a couple times until I figured out that you need to put the rubber grommet into the tubing first, then work that into the pan outlet. It was not an easy task and I will be replacing those lines very soon. The system comes with a couple arbor wrenches, and an allen key for the locking collar. You will need a 2mm Allen wrench to adjust the water control knobs it you want all the white lines to line up perfectly (I did). The last wonderful nugget is the lamp. This thing is amazing. It flexes into just about any position, and has enough of a reach to shine on the front of the wheels, or all the way to the side laps. It is bright and has a warm LED bulb. I would have preferred a harsh white lamp, but I'm pleased with the amount of light out of this lamp. They even include a nice long vinyl apron and a really decent pair of safety goggles (that will fit over eyeglasses). Instructions are well written (in real English) and a nice book is included in how to use diamond to cut stones. Best of all the unit is assembled in the USA with foreign and domestic parts. Reentel has a lot of lapidary equipment under their name (Inland, Hi-Tech, CabKing, TumbleBee) and their parts are pretty reasonable in price. They have a good website and ship pretty fast. They know how to package products so they arrive safe and sound. If you have always dreamed of polish rocks into cabs- then this is a great machine that should last a lifetime. Update: My GFI plug went on the fritz. The solenoid was acting up and tripping the micro switch. I contacted them (Reentel) on Saturday and they shipped a replacement plug out Monday! 3 screws and I was up and running again. Machine has been such a joy to run and setup/cleanup is quick and easy. Takes me 15 minutes to go from a preformed to a polished cab. Just way too much fun! ... show more

  • Best gem cutting machine on the market!! The side buffer is a great add on!!! AAA+++
Amazing machine! Truly excellent design and engineering! Everything works perfect and so far it kicks the #$%! out of the Genie! Much better machine for the money as well. Highly recommend to any gem enthusiast or professional! The water distribution is a clean and efficient design with zero cross contamination, unlike the genies water squirters that shoot up dirty gritty water into your 100 dollar nova wheels! Truly impressive machine. Almost wish i had bought the 8 inch but this one is perfect regardless. Beyond excellent customer service!!! I got two left side shields at first and was bummed i couldn't use it right away. They sent out new shield sides for left and right immediately! I only had to wait a day and they told me to keep the extra parts!!! I've been cutting for over two years on it and the wheels are still in great shape! Don't waste your money on Diamond Pacific tools. They are insanely dated and way overpriced. They were products meant to keep the common gem lover out of the cutting business. The genie might only be 2200 to 3k today(+700 over the cabking) but they were that price in the 70s and 80s!!!! It's no wonder lapidarys are a dying breed... Only people with degrees could afford them. NO WAY IN HELL MY PARENTS MADE ENOUGH BACK THEN TO BUY THAT MACHINE! We were renting vcrs for godsake... and a wet grinder costs as much as a new car did??!! Not ok...DPTC uses answering machines on weekends!!! What does that even mean??? RIP DPTC 2023!!! Cab King keeps the genie in a bottle, the Pixie in a cage and the Titan in a prison cell!! Thank you for ushering in a new era of lapidary artiists!!!! ... show more

  • Solid product
Works like a charm! Uses the “drip from the top” watering system rather than a “bubbler” from the bottom catch pan. This assures clean grit free water for each wheel. Solid motor, light, and switch assemblies. I did crack one of the plexiglass spray screens as I was going it out of the box. Might want a second pair of hands when doing this - or a little more patience than I did. It is heavy. ... show more

  • I went from an armature to a professional in two days!
This Kabking machine has it all. Here are some of the things I really like, and my list just keeps growing every time I turn it on! 1. It takes up a good piece of real-estate in my shop, but with all it does, it actually saved me space. 2. It came largely assembled. The instructions on the procurers to put it into full operations were easy to follow, and the videos on Kabking’s web page on operating and maintaining the machine were wonderful. The videos on Kabbing were also very helpful for a intermediate beginner. 3. While, I understood it has the flat lap polisher, which is very nice because it screwed on from the back plate, rather than bolted on through a center hole, allows me to work much larger rocks. 4. What I did not realize was that on the left side, you could use the bolt on flat Lap disks, so my previous investments are still fully usable. 5. The fresh water drip and old water drain off is fantastic. First of all, it enables me to use both my hands and second it all but eliminated the dust and the need for a good dust mask. The adjustable splash plate mostly keeps the water going into the drip pans that drain out to a wast water bucket making clean up pretty easy. The apron that comes as part of the package takes care of most of the water that does escape. 6. The powerful motor is surprisingly quiet. 7. The submersible water pump is powered independently from the Kabking making everything very safe. I put the water pump on a separate power strip to make it easy to turn on and off. 8. This thing, just plane looks good and works great. It has the muscle to handle the hardest of rocks, the tools to gently work the softest of stones, and the Kabking Web site is terrific. The Rock Club I joined recently has one of these machines, and it is always checked out to someone... That says a lot! ... show more
