LAP INFORMATION

You save time polishing larger flats in two way's. First, the actual polishing process for each step is reduced by the speed and efficiency you get while using our resin-bond diamond Magnetic Nova Laps. Under normal circumstances, it only takes 14 to 25 minutes for each grit step to polish your large flat. Second, you save a lot of time by not having the usual clean up job between grit changes. Changing grits with Magnetic Nova's simply means removing one flex-lap from the back-plate and installing the next -- taking only a few moments at the most. Since the diamonds in Magnetic Nova's are permanently bonded to their working surfaces, there's little chance of contamination,

Our recommended general-purpose grit sequence of Magnetic Nova's for Diamond RLD machines is 60, 280, 600, and 1200 grits, followed by our new Super Premium Cerium Oxide Polish on a felt pad. We also recommend the use of a 60 grit Plated Diamond Disc to proceed the 60 grit Magnetic Nova for those slab surfaces with deep saw marks or other features requiring grinding preparation. Other grit sequences can be used with excellent results depending on the material to be polished.

You can use a regular cast iron lap on your Diamond RLD, but you will need to reduce motor speed. Please contact our technical department for information.

ROTATING FLAT LAPS

If you need to precision grind and polish a flat surface on stone, glass, or fiber optics, the rotating disc laps will do the job.

These rotating flat laps are built to fulfill the fundamental requirements of precision lapping. You get maximum stability and wheel balance. Lap plates on standard models are cast iron, machined to exacting tolerances and grooved with concentric V- groove circles for retention of the abrasive charge. Your surfaces will be FLAT. Rotating laps work faster than the oscillating type machine, but the workpiece must be held and kept in constant motion throughout the process.

FEATURES FOR STANDARD RLS MODELS

Models come with motor, adjustable dip tank, and cast iron plate.

Powder coated, heavy duty fabricated steel plate boxes. The 18 RLS measure 24" x 14: x 34" with a7-3/4" deep tank. The 12 RLS are 15" x 15'x 6-3/4" deep tank.

Water reservoir has adjustable valve to regulate flow of water or water-abrasive mixture on standard machines. The drip spout can be easily moved over the rotating disc.

Arbor shaft is 1:, Bearings are 1";factory lubricated and sealed to prevent contamination.

Variable speed machines allow instant speed adjustments thought the use of a variable speed motor and control bar.

Machines and extra 18 RLS lap must be crated for shipment,
