Takes all the work out of lapping. Just load, start & walk away.
Covingtopn vibrating laps are designed to abrade and polish automatically.
The inertia of the heavy rock slab holds it relatively still while the lap pan vibrates underneath.
This action replaces the circular rotation used by conventional lapping machines.
Our new design and grooved plate gives you faster cutting.
Bumper ring prevents gemstone damage. Pad insert enables work piece to be polished in the same pan.
One thumb screw releases pan for easy cleaning.

"VI-BRO-LAP"
Diamond Pacific bought out Contempo. |
These heavy-duty laps can accommodate a number of specimens at the same time.
Each machine provides rapid grinding and polishing in circular oscillating motion without damaging the
slabbed edges.
The tempered aluminum lap plates are V-grooved in a criss-cross square-grid pattern.
This permits abrasive particles to circulate between the lap plate and the piece being worked.
The abrasive is being continually crushed to a smaller size while performing its grinding or
polishing action. The breaking down of the particles reduces the number of grit sizes needed.
After the bottom side of the workpiece is ground flat to a satin smooth surface, the lap
plate can be turned over to the other side on which a polishing pad is cemented. The Workpiece
can be put on the pad along with a polishing compound to produce a fine mirror-like finish.
Comes complete with a 1/3 HP 110V 60Hz Motor, one medium Lapmate, polish pad, and galvanized circle.
(Export Models come with a 1/3 HP 220V 50Hz Motor)
