📍 This video shows the complete cabochon-making process in real time, with each stage carefully explained.
Estimated working time is included to give a realistic view of how long each step takes during lapidary work.

Tools, Functions, and Estimated Time:
1. Diamond Cutting Wheels (5–7 minutes)
Used to cut the raw stone into a workable slab or preform.
This stage determines the initial size and orientation of the pattern.
2. Grinding Machine (≈5 minutes)
Used to shape the cabochon outline and establish the basic dome.
Excess material is removed to define the final form.
3. Diamond Pad Grit 150 (10–15 minutes)
Used for rough shaping and precise pattern adjustment.
This step requires careful control to balance proportions and visual composition.
4. Diamond Pad Grit 500 (≈5 minutes)
Used to smooth the surface and remove deep scratches left by coarse grinding.
5. Grinding Sandpaper Grit 240 (≈10 minutes)
A critical stage focused on eliminating fine scratches before final finishing.
Proper sanding here ensures a clean and even surface.
6. Final Sandpaper Grit 800 (≈5 minutes)
Used for fine finishing to achieve a smooth surface, ready for polishing.
