What you need to make cabochons

In this video I go over everything I use to make cabochons. Whether you're wanting to start a lapidary business selling cabs or just wanting to make them for your own jewelry pieces. I layout each item used, why I chose the equipment I did and the associated costs involved.
Here's a list of links for the equipment and supplies I talk about in the video as well as links to master lapidary artists and their videos on cabochon cutting:

Your diagrams and figures were awesome. Great production!

[@garymaylon2025]

I’m a beginner and I really appreciate your explanation and advice. I’m starting with round flat cabbing machine, so I’ll have to work up to the Cab King. Thanks again.

Does the table 6x2 include the saw, cabking and additional work area shown in video? Thanks

[@ChucksMagic]

Yes

How does a nail cost $26? A few cents at most at my local hardware store.

[@ChucksMagic]

Not sure where you got $26 from. The link I provided is for 5 pounds of nails for $14
