Anyone dealt with them?

Unless they've gone up recently, the 8" cerium, etc. list for $10 for a pack of 5. They are very thin polishing discs used mostly by facetors and best used on softer stones (amethyst, smokey quartz, etc.). If you plan on using them for cabs I don't think they would last long. You woud be better off using a leather disc with polish compound or diamond.

the ultralaps are a good price and thanks for the link. From someone who cuts gemstones and cabs they really aren't suitable for cabbing work. The purpose of the ultralap is to keep the face of a gemstone flat and the edges as sharp as possible. I concur with the johnjsgems, stick to felt or leather for cabbing. The ultralaps wouldn't last.
