DOUBLE DECK VIBRATORY LAP
You can be rough grinding and finish polishing at the same time with 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.
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.

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 commonly 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. GRIT
