Item Name:
Faceting/Lapidary Plate - 8" Diameter - Final Polish
SKU:
FACETRON8PHENOLICLAP
Description:
The Final Polish Plate is a flat, rigid polishing lap designed to mount on a faceting machine or compatible lap system for final finishing work. This style of lap is used as the last step after your cutting and pre-polish laps, providing a stable, true surface that supports consistent contact across the facet. In glass and gemstone-style faceting workflows, a final polish lap is chosen when you are chasing optical clarity and a clean, high finish rather than material removal.
How it is used:
In lampworking and glass fabrication, this lap is used during coldworking to bring faceted glass components to their final surface finish. After the piece is shaped and pre-polished, the lap is charged with an appropriate polishing compound and run with light, controlled pressure to refine the facet faces without rounding edges. It is especially useful when you need repeatable, crisp facet junctions and a uniform polish across multiple faces.
Dimensions:
8" diameter.
