Here's a list of the majority of accessory equipment you might need for the cabber. This list is meant to be instructive, not prescriptive. Some parts may be unavailable and you will need to find another source, or maybe a better source. Don't forget bolts, nuts (if desired), and wiring if needed, and laps if you don't have any. There is also an arbor shaft with platen that will need to be made. Anybody with a lathe that's interested in helping out the lapidary community, please get in touch with Mike about making and selling the arbor shaft.

Bearings: (22mmO.D. X 9.6 I.D.) (7/8" O.D. X 3/8" I.D.) same bearings used on all cabbers, and saws accept 10" saw.

Tubing is aquarium tubing and the valve aquarium air valve. Patrick's note: this pump doesn't have much oomph so don't try and use it to pump from the floor to a bench.

We're still trying to find a motor readily available to power it. Been using 80 to 90 vdc

A member used a bike/scooter board motor that's a 24vdc motor 250w plenty of torque, he use the control box but opened it up and adjusted the high end trim pur to it lowest output voltage (about 48) and turned dial for max only half way. Used on small cabber.
