Standard aluminum platens are precision lapped parallel, then hard anodized for maximum wear resistance. They are used with adhesive backed discs, double sided adhesive discs and a combination of non-adhesive discs and paper holding bands.

Magnetic platens combine a standard aluminum platen with a cross-hatched magnetic surface for maximum flatness and adherence. Only one platen is needed throughout the grinding and polishing process, allowing all magnetic system cloths/abrasive discs or ferromagnetic discs to be utilized.

A wide range of polishing cloths is offered for fine grinding or for coarse, intermediate and final polishing of all materials.

Adhesive-back cloths attach to standard platens, while flexible or rigid discs with ferromagnetic backing secure to magnetic platens. 

An explanation of each backing type is provided in the overview tab below, along with detailed information about each type.
