I really enoy slabbing but there is a lot of downtime while the slabs are being cut. I don't enjoy cabbing (perhaps because I haven't tried it) and don't plan onlearning how to do it (my wife does it right now). I have a vibrating lap to polish the slabs and know that you can use a wet dry polisher to do the same thing in a fraction of the time.
I'd like to be able to do something hands on to polish slabs other than the wet dry polisher or the lap. Is there anything? Many of my slabs are way too big to try to use my cabbing machine so that is out. Are there any other ways to polish slabs other than what I mentioned above? I wouldn't mind the wet dry polisher other than the cost (almost $600). I do this for my own and family benefit, not to sell and have had a VERY hard time trying to justify to myself the money I put out for a slab saw, various tumblers, lap, cabbing machine, Richards buffer, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
