What it is

CabKing is a first-party maker and seller of cabbing machines. The official site (cabking.com) sells two sizes — CabKing 6″ and CabKing 8″ — complete with diamond wheels, a water pump, and an accessory kit. The FAQ says machines are manufactured from foreign and domestic parts and that every machine is assembled and tested in the factory in Westmont, Illinois. The privacy policy prints the address CabKing, 44 Plaza Drive, Westmont, IL 60559. It is not a membership gem club and not a week-long residential teaching school. The FAQ points people who want a class to a local search, and mentions the West Suburban Lapidary Club for the Chicago area.

Who it’s for

Hobbyists, jewelry makers, studios, and clubs who want a complete cabbing machine (6″ or 8″), wheels, and parts from the manufacturer’s site, an authorized dealer, or by phone or email. The product pages say the 6″ suits beginners through pros and the 8″ is aimed at professionals, studios, clubs, and serious hobbyists working larger stones. The 220-volt models are described as for overseas customers who need 220V–240V.

Other printed facts (FAQ and warranty page — checked today): machines are sold complete with wheels (not wheel-less). Water system is single-pass; a recirculating setup voids the warranty. Pump output printed as 2,300 liters per hour. Warranty: one year from purchase on mechanical and structural parts of the CabKing-6V3 and CabKing-8V1. Extended warranty can be added for one or two years; the warranty page says you have up to 45 days from the purchase date to add it. Trim-saw attachments are size-specific (6″ attachment for the 6″ machine, 8″ attachment for the 8″); both use an 8″ blade with a 1″ arbor. FAQ cutting envelope for those attachments: 2.5″ height and 2.5″ depth with the mini platform, 3.75″ height with the mini platform removed.
