- In this video I unbox my new CabKing machine and happily stumble though the
this machine comes with six diamond wheels two hard and four soft
this machine has a fantastic watering system and what might be some of the best wheel spacing in the industry
This 8" CabKing lapidary machine is going for 2,399$ and the 6" model is going for 1,399$
this machine come with a 8" 360 grit flat lap that is attached to the left side of the machine and a soft 6" pad for diamond paste or compounds on the right
If anyone has any questions about this machine feel free to ask :)
I truly am thrilled you're getting to update your grinding station. This is a proper upgrade for sure! Many blessings on the new machine!
I really wish I could afford one of these.. its nice that they include all the different accessories..
Honestly my friend there’s nothing in this machine can do that a two wheel $90 machine cannot
Wow! I can only dream of having a machine like that!
Thank you so much for doing this video got my CabKing and it gave me a great idea on how easy it was to assemble thanks again
Just received my Cab King 8V-1 machine. sad part is the motor mount was cracked in shipping. very sad it was a Birthday present and I invited my NWG&A Rock club members to watch as they were very involved in my choice of machines. Cab King of Illinois, will be shipping me a new motor hopefully soon, took 1 and 1/2 month to receive this broken one, hope its not that long for a unbroken one to get to me.
Fantastic! I got my 6" cabking on the way!
I wish they can improve the drain holes out from the side or perhaps from the back of the machine. Learn so much from you! Appreciate for sharing!
salalaos howdy there :) on these cab king machines you can have the drain holes be on the back of the machine instead of the front of the machine because of the way the pans are designed you can have them in the front or the back which I don’t believe I showed off in this video but one cannot have them come from the sides which would be very cool
Thank you so much for watching my friend feel free to ask any of your lapidary questions anytime it’s really my pleasure And if you haven’t done so already please consider subscribing to the channel it really helps
If I wasn’t married with a family I would buy one of those but that’s a hard sell with the wife . I forget the exact price but it was like 1800 . Have fun that’s super cool
I totally know what you mean the industry is not making it easy for people to buy their machines they are definitely making so much more than the machines are worth by charging so much there is a clone of this machine being sold by two different companies when is called Hans lapidary the other is called Jewels & tools I think they are selling the 6 inch for around 800 bucks but even that is a little expensive for a lot of folks so I always suggest shopping for a used machine I bought a used two wheel 8 inch Lortone machine for $80 at gemshow in Colorado
They can do absolutely everything the big fancy ones can one just needs to have a little bit extra patience and swap out the wheels whenever you need a different grit
Jealous. Lovely machine. I just bought an old Highland Park A-50. But it'll soon have new wheels. So I'm happy. But you look happier.
Hey there my friend 850s are fantastic machines It’s the first machine I started on and in my opinion there’s nothing that the captain can do that your machine cannot do with a little patience to remove and swap out wheels
@@lapidarydave I scored some Crystalite wheels on ebay and three Super Novas from Johnson Brothers. Can't wait to get them mounted on my new old Highland Park. But paint needs to dry and shippers need to deliver. LOL. Will see you again in Tucson, we hope.
@@richardbinell2053 Awesome my friend congratulations on the wheels I’m stoked for you I look forward to seeing you in Tucson
خیلی خوب و عالی
Thank you for showing the assembly process 👍 I just bought one and love it. It’s very quiet too considering it’s almost 3’ long with all the wheels spinning. I attempted to retrofit a smaller grinder with arbor extensions and was nowhere near the length requirement for all 6 wheels. I had no idea the Cabking motor was that large compared to a standard bench grinder either, but, like you mentioned, the Cabking runs true. I was nervous to turn it on but once it’s up to full speed it just hums very quiet. I have spent probably 4 months trying to piece together a makeshift cabbing machine and finally surrendered and bought the right tool for the job. Fantastic quality construction! Best wishes Dave and I’ll share some pictures of my work when I complete some. Do you have a webpage that has pictures of your cabochons? Or do you sell yours? Anyway, your positive attitude is appreciated as well as your straightforward approach. 👍😎🇨🇦
Andrew Gibb Thank you so much for watching the video and thank you so much for letting me know that it helped I really appreciate it have a website of my own are usually use social media to sell my goods or sell them at tradeshows friend me and follow me via #LapidaryDave On both Facebook and Instagram I would love to see some of your pieces
I noticed that your drain tubes are in the front. You can turn the pans around so the tubes are in the back, out of your way.
Need a grinding wheel solution other than cabking's though for sure. $700 to replace all 6 wheels and they barely lasted 2 months.
Johnson Brothers are my favorite they are affordable long lasting and they offer a resurfacing service in which you can even send your old cabking wheel to get them resurfaced for $25-35 a wheel
Thanks for watching and commenting:) consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already
Your trays are backwards, the drain hoses should be coming out the back.
She's a beauty👌
En México donde venden
just got one. water feed taps and tubing were missing completely. drain hose is substandard design and flimsy, can't securely seal. and the assembly of the left hand shaft leaves some of the end wheel unsupported, very confusing.
Let’s totally sucks my friend obviously make sure to give them a phone call and let them know what you were missing and if they did not give you the new arm guard that they are including our machines make sure that they do that as well let them know that you talk to me about the problem I guarantee you they will make sure everything is OK
@@lapidarydave thanks; what is the arm guard? you mean the hand rests? I do have those. Just no plumbing. You seemed ok with the drain hose design.. dont you find it difficult to see how it would seal? the plastic hose doesn't push on far enough to engage the clips.
@@makkyd123 So I do mean those little foam things that go in front of the water trays to protect your hands that’s what I meant By the armrests
The drain tubes are bad I’ll pull them up all the way against the water tray housing and then I actually bent the metal clamps that came with my machine to be tighter than they came out of the box you put those over the water trays little drain ports
It’s very hard to help through CZcams without photos so if you don’t mind find me here at this link which is my personal Facebook account this way we can communicate and send pictures even though I do not work for a cab king they do sponsor the channel and I want to help you anyway that I can
Here’s the link facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010423326634
@@lapidarydave Yeah, I never got any foam things, I'll ask them about that. I'm going to throw away the drain tubes and plumb some thick rubber pipe instead. Thanks for the link.
@@lapidarydave I dont think it comes with those. They sent me replacement hoods and nothing else was missing apparently.
Hi. Interested in how high your table is that you have you cabking on? I am just starting out and have trouble finding a comfortable hight for my cabking. Your videos were very helpful for me deciding what to purchase. Thanks
Thank you so much it's truly a pleasure to hear that I was a help next time you speak to cab King tell him lapidary Dave sent yuh :) I believe a table that my machine is on is about four and a half feet high it's just high enough for me I would almost want it a little bit higher,I really want to get one of those fancy pants tables for Rich business people that easily becomes adjustable for standing or sitting situations but all of those adjustable tables that I find can only support about 50 lb hopefully I will find one of those tables in the future that can hold more, good luck on your lapidary adventure and feel free to ask me anything anytime
Thanks for your reply. When I purchsed mine thru cabking I did tell him I watched your videos and they are very helpfull. Could not be happier with my 8 inch cabking . I built a costom table and I am going to have to lower it a bit my arms are up at a bad angle. Thanks again love your videos. Look forward to more.
Home depot sells an adjustable height 52x24 worktable, two drawers, with wheels or leveling feet, supports 300 lbs, height adjustable from 29 to 42, looks like it will be a good choice. I'll be setting one up soon. Query on model HOLT5202BJ1
Thanks for sharing. Does it say who makes the motor and where it's made? Just curious
No hint at who makes the motor unfortunately :)
The machine is made in China by Hans Lapidary.
Does this mean it's time to retire the 2 1/2 gallon water container?
Never :) it’s one of my favorite tools
How long are each of your wheels holding up?
Aaron Schaekel So since I cut thousands of pieces a year I end up replacing my wheels three times a year on average back in the day are used to have a A bit of a sponsorship and I did not need to pay for wheels at the time of making this video so I change them three times a year now I am paying for my own wheels for the first time in a long time and I am using about two sets of wheels a year the casual hobbyist or the artist who is just cutting to make his or her pieces for their jewelry could probably get two years or more out of a set but I often tell people to expect to replace them every year the Wheels at this machine come with her a bit generic and can probably last all year if you were cutting something soft like turquoise but if you were cutting a variety material such as jaspers jades in quarts I would say to expect to replace the cab king wheels sooner than later I often buy the premium REZ Grand wheels which are Are tied for my favorite wheels in the industry between them and Johnson brothers they are highly aggressive and last a very long time as soon as I got my cab king machine I actually put on a fresh set of REZ wheels because I knew the cab penguins were not going to be useful for me I often tell people when they buy their cab key machine you can go ahead and sell both sets of wheels that you just Got with your calving machine and you could sell them and buy a high-quality set of wheels and power we have a little money left over
I just got mine fully assembled except for the water solution. But I have a plan for that.
That’s totally awesome my friend you deserve it and it will pay for itself in no time
Random question: Are you left or right handed?
Right handed my friend :)
