74 VIBRATORY FLAT LAPS
Slabs rotate in a circular orbit so there is little damage to any
stone edge. Each pan comes with a heavy duty vinyl tubing
around the outer edge to act as a buffer between moving
slabs and sides of pan.
The upper pan comes with a premium grade wool felt
polishing pad that can be charged with a variety of polishes
for the final process on your slabs. Each pad should only be
used with one type of polish. If you need to use different
polishes, each should have its own polish pad to prevent
contamination. The polishing pad is used over a smooth-
surfaced aluminium plate.
The lower plate is aluminum finished with special
indentations for use with silicon carbide grits for grinding
and sanding flat stones. It comes with a heavy duty vinyl
bumper ring to serve as a buffer between moving slabs and
edge of pan.
Brackets hold the two pans in place,
one above the other, and are designed
for easy removal of the pans.
Machine is made of non-rusting
aluminum castings. Only weighs 50
pounds so it can be moved from place
to place but is still heavy enough for
stability while in operation.
You can be rough grinding and finish
pol ishing at the same t ime wi th this
18" double pan set-up. Use the top pan with
its special premium grade felt pad for all
polishing, and the lower pan for the other
stages of grind and pre-polish.

GRIT SEQUENCE FOR
LAPPING
The choice of abrasive grit sizes for the lapping
process follows somewhat that in tumbling or stone
polishing procedures. The choice also depends upon the
material, and preference of the person doing the work.
The following sequence of silicon carbide grits is com-
monly used, and will generally produce a satisfactory
polish on most materials: 60/90, 220, 400, 600, 1000,
and then a polish. Generally, the more steps the better the
polish. Abrasives sold on pages 70, 72.
