Highland Park Lapidary automatic cabbing machine


In the first place, we locate and purchase this rare 1970’s vintage Highland Park Lapidary automatic cabbing machine. Consequently, this is a machine which uses steel templates to form cabochons, out of rough material.

Most notably, this machine uses spinning motors and weights to achieve it’s purpose. Consequently, it is difficult to explain. Finally, I’ll think this video best explains it’s operation.

In conclusion, I hope you enjoy seeing this unusual machine in motion.

Also, here is a slideshow, exhibiting the different features of the machine.
