Nova Discs are ideal for polishing backs of cabs,
nodules, geode faces, and similar flats as well as for sand-
ing and polishing cabs. They have a soft, rubber backing
and are slightly convex (domed) so that under pressure of
your stone, they provide an even polishing surface in the
middle area often missed with other methods. A standard
1

4
"-20 thread bolt is molded into their plastic back-up plate
to fit our Gem-Makers and most other machines accepting
that size bolt. See below right to order an adaptor to fit
your machine if it is not one of our Gem-Makers.

your stone.
Canvas, leather and felt pads may be used with diamond
compound, or other polishes (see pages 19-20). Leather
pads come either smooth or rough side up. When using
diamond compound, use a silicone lubricant, such as our
Gem-Lube (see page 20). Shipping Weight: 5 ozs.
