6" Diamond Double Cab Laps

Diamond Groove Cab Laps, also known as Diamond Star Cab Laps, are specialized tools designed for the final shaping and polishing of sapphire, ruby, and garnet cabochons. These electroplated diamond laps feature grooves that allow for faster material removal and a smoother finish.

The Diamond Groove Cab Laps are available in a range of sizes and grits, making them suitable for a variety of lapidary projects. The grooves on the laps are evenly spaced and provide a consistent cutting action, resulting in a uniform finish on the cabochon.

One of the key benefits of using Diamond Groove Cab Laps is their durability. The electroplated diamond coating on the laps is extremely hard and long-lasting, providing a consistent cutting action over time. This means that the laps require less frequent replacement, resulting in cost savings for lapidary artists and jewelers.

Another advantage of Diamond Groove Cab Laps is their versatility. They can be used for shaping and polishing a wide range of gemstones, including sapphire, ruby, and garnet. The grooves on the laps also make them suitable for use on other materials, such as glass and ceramics.

To use Diamond Groove Cab Laps, lapidary artists and jewelers typically begin with a coarser grit lap to remove any rough spots or imperfections on the cabochon. They then move on to a finer grit lap, such as the Diamond Groove Cab Lap, to achieve a smooth, polished finish.
