80% of all high value diamonds are polished on a Coborn scaife
Gemstone
Gem diamonds are ‘forever’ we are told. Whether the gem is made from natural (SCD) or synthetic (MCD/CVD) diamond, the four ‘Cs’ – colour, carat, clarity and cut – summarise the key characteristics of each individual stone. The first three are characteristics of the material itself.
Cut is where precision lapping and polishing machines (and skill) are vitally important. The accuracy of perfectly polished facets internally reflecting light ensure the diamond expresses that all important sparkle.

Bench Series
Coborn’s Bench series includes Planetary Scaif benches which are generally used to polish facets on single crystal diamond tools. They may also be used in gem diamond polishing. The bench combines the high speed rotation of a scaif plate with a relatively slow, smooth, horizontal planetary motion. The planetary motion speed is variable between 0-50 cycles/minute.
