Apex Cabber V1 is a bench cabbing station for grinding, shaping, and polishing cabochons — including Australian opal. Designed and assembled in Coober Pedy, with some parts sourced in. Sold direct by Apex Opal.
An upgrade on typical cabbing setups: a light, rigid carbon-fibre composite body, quiet design, compact and light footprint, repairable components, fixed ~1450 RPM, and cheaper shipping than bulky imported machines.
