If you need to precision grind and polish a flat surface on stone, glass or 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.

  • Models come with motor, adjustable drip tank, and cast iron plate.
  • Powder coated, heavy duty fabricated steel plate boxes. The 18RL's measure 24" x 24"x 34" with a 7 3⁄4" deep tank. The 12RL's are 15"x l5"x 13 3⁄4" with a 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 through use of a variable speed motor and controller.
  • Magnetic Novas and Dura-Discs can be used on standard RL Laps, but speed of machine must be increased. 
  • Machines and extra 18RL lap are crated for shipment.
