hey everybody welcome back we are gonna break in our brand new 8-inch cabking this thing's a beast
yeah i feel like a kid in a candy store and to break in our brand new cabking we're going to
be doing two different kinds of polishes on both lake superior agates one a flat face polish we
recently cut this it's got some really nice bands in there this one we're going to be doing a bit of
a free form and we're just going to follow the stone we'll do a bit of a rounded face polish
right here it's got some pretty tight bands in there they'll show up a lot more let's get rid
of all these nasty fractures fun fact about this agate i actually found it right in my neighborhood
on a walk with my family but the first one we're gonna polish is this guy right here
so
with the flat face polish on this lake superior agate we have gotten through the 280 grit resin
wheel and they're looking pretty good the bands are starting to pop a lot more we got those style
marks out so we're going to go through the other stages right here the 600 the 1200 and the 3000
and i wanted to say at the end after both of these once we're done with the 3000 grit wheel
i have a really cool thing to show you it's one of my favorite features about this eight inch cabking
but i'm gonna hop on the 600 grit wheel and we'll start working this thing giving it a mirror finish
so we have got these through the 3000 grit and unfortunately there is some
natural fracturing going on all over this thing this moss right here is being a huge stinker
it's kind of crazy i've never seen it so bad so we're going to move on to our other agate
and as i mentioned before we're going to be doing a lot of shaping on this some free form
we're really going to be working down this spot right here there's a lot of fractures going
on in there make a nice rounded face polish and then when we catch up to the other agate
after the 3000 grit we'll move on to the final polishing stages so
let's start shaping this and along the way i'll show you what kind of bands we're exposing on this
so we worked that pretty good through the 220 grit wheel got a lot of little divots and pockets out
it does have a few little fractures running through it but that's pretty
normal with like superior agates it's got some really cool bands that are showing up in there
we're really going to start making a pop when we start moving through these softback resin wheels
well we got through the 3000 grit on this beautiful lake superior agate
the bands are really starting to pop and it's taking a great polish it does have a few random
fractures in there but we knew that going into it and i'm really excited to move on to the last few
stages here which leads me into showing you one of my favorite features with this 8 inch cabking
let me show you so one of the last stages with polishing is with this polishing pad that we are
going to charge with one 14000 grit paste and on another 50000 grit paste but to get to it
all you got to do pop that up and take that off it's magnetic i love that that's perfect so i'm
going to charge this with the 14000 grit paste nobody said it had to be pretty okay
we got through the 14000 grid paste on the
polishing pad and we are now going to move on to the 50000 grit paste
so we got all of our pieces through the 50000 grit paste and i think they turned out pretty good but
this one right here it's got those heartbreaking fractures going on in there and i was thinking
about it even if we ground down to try to make it more of a rounded face polish even with this
moss right here i think i might start taking away some of these bands and i just i'll have to sit
on this and ponder it for a little bit to figure out what's the right step to take with it it's got
some great bands in there but these darn fractures i think they really kind of tainted a little bit
but this piece right here had a couple bad fractures in there but overall i am really
happy with how that turned out took a beautiful polish really really happy with how that went
and those bands in there they're a little dark but they are spectacular i really love
this pocket right here that is really really cool really happy with how that turned out
love it so i had a ton of fun using a brand new 8-inch cabking and i love the fun features that
it has like the magnetic side panel the little foot switch down here that i can shut the water
on and off when i'm checking to see if i got any scratches in it still and i just love the size
of it this thing is huge you see a lot of bins behind me we have a lot of stuff that we're going
to be polishing in the future and i also want to say too if you want to check out this model
