Upgrade your lapidary cabbing machine with Diamond Pacific Nova resin-bond diamond lap discs to quickly add sanding steps to your cabbing process.áWith this soft padded screw-back lap coated with Nova resin-bond diamond, lapidary artists can sand and polish quickly and without the mess of compounds or pastes can quickly and conveniently spin-on to the end of their cabbing machine to add additional grits for sanding and polishing cabochons without changing wheels.

Construction

Basically a semi-flattened Nova wheel, Nova diamond laps by Diamond Pacific have a soft foam rubber backing and have a slightly convex dome so that under pressure of your stone they provide an even polishing surface in the middle area often missed with other laps. The rubber is coated with a thick layer of Diamond Pacific's special Nova resin-bond diamond formula for fast action and long lap life and mounted to a plastic screw-back plate for quick installation on your cabbing machine. Diamond Pacific provides a highly concentrated layer of diamond in the resin Nova layer to give a lasting and fast-cutting lap for professional jewelers and cabbers creating calibrated or freeform cabochons or intarsia where time and predictable materials removal is critical. The standard 1/4 inch-20 thread bolt is molded into the back-up plate to fit Diamond Pacific's Gem-Makers and most other machines accepting that size bolt like the Genie, Pixie, Titan, or CabKing.
