BATT LAP.
A good, solid
cast tin alloy pre-polishing and polishing lap. This hard alloy allows the
casting to be rigid enough to serve as a solid lap, rather than the two part
tin/aluminum backing. It has proven to be a very popular general purpose
polishing lap. 8 inch and 6 inch.

DARKSIDE.

The DARKSIDE is a lightweight lap, made of the specially developed material coated onto an aluminum baseplate, then machined both sides for flatness.
For its thickness it is surprisingly rigid. The lap quickly breaks in on the first stone, without the charging process needed for metal laps, making it user-friendly for beginners.
A terrific new addition to the gemcutters polishing arsenal. It may very well be the only polishing lap you need!
8 inch diameter only.

BATTWING.
This is a dual surface lap that will make pre-polishing and polishing your
gem so fast and easy you will be wondering what took so long to come up with
something like it! The outer ring is the famous BATT lap metal alloy that
you charge with your diamond pre-polish. We highly recommend the
3000 mesh BattStick for this. The inner ring is
the versatile Darkside polishing lap. The cerium
oxide BattStick will achieve a polish on any of the quartz varieties in
seconds flat! Wash off and use the aluminum oxide
BattStick for just about everything else. 8 inch diameter only. |
