Both the 20" and 27" Vi-Bro-Lap models give you the satisfaction of achieving flat surfaces on geode halves, agate, petrified wood and other material, yet relieves you of the necessity for constant attention to the lapping process.

The Vi-Bro-Lap can accommodate a number of specimens at the same time. The tempered aluminum lap plate is grooved in a criss-cross pattern. This permits abrasive particles to circulate between the lap plate and the workpiece so that the abrasive itself is continuously being crushed to a smaller size.

When the workpiece surface is ground flat and satin smooth, the lap plate is turned over to the other side on which a premium grade, wool felt polishing pad is cemented. Using a polishing compound on this pad, a fine mirror like finish is produced on the workpiece.

• Lap plates are manufactured from heat treated aluminum alloy to produce a tough, wear-resistant surface. Each surface has milled V-grooves in a square grid pattern.
• Suspension is controlled by aircraft strength cable, adjustable for fine leveling to keep workpieces evenly distributed over the lap plate surface.
• 20VL measures 21" W x 21" D x 21" H. 27VL measures 28" W x 28" D x 30" H.
• Frame is welded, fabricated steel for stability.
• Comes with 1⁄3 HP motor, felt polish pad and galvanized circle. Export model available.
