For those of you in the lapidary arts, Idaho engineer Terry Deal created a custom cabbing machine. The unique thing about this machine is that you can run 4 inch wheels like the Diamond Pacific Pixie, 6 inch like the Genie, or 8 inch wheels like the Titan. You can also use expandable drums or convex carving wheels. Best of all when you need replacement parts, they are available at the local hardware store.  

Terry  will be  will be demonstrating the new gemstone cabbing machines at

 

The North Idaho Mineral Club's Gem, Mineral, Rock and Jewelry Show June 1st and 2nd, 2013. at the Kootenai Fairgrounds at the corner of Kathleen and Government Way in Coeur d'Alene, ID. Admission is $2.00, with children under 12 free when accompanied by an adult.

I've never heard of it, but it sure looks like it could do the job!  I'm not sure what a cabber does...

Not to worry, many people do not.  A cabbing machine is what a lapidary artist will use to take a slice of rock and polish it into  a gemstone which can then be set and made into jewelry.  The engineer worked hard and eliminating problems that other had and he gave it a code name of BMT (Better Mouse Trap)
