The MetPrep 1x™ precision grinding/polishing machine 
is excellent for manual preparation for standard 
applications, or when polishing delicate samples using 
handheld tools with lapping films that require extremely 
low RPM and consistent low-end torque. The 7" color 
LCD touchscreen with keypad entry is used to control 
all functions with an intuitive interface optimized for 
efficiency. Five (5) user-defined preset buttons allow 
quick and easy RPM selections from 5-350 RPM in either 
clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The timer function 
allows either count-up or countdown operation.
Durable: Engineered and constructed using precision- 
machined hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel 
components to provide maximum longevity.
Easy to use: Straightforward controls and user-
friendly functions for quick, repeatable operation.
Either precision, standard or magnetic 8"/203 mm or 
10"/254 mm platens may be used with any plain/adhesive 
backed or magnetic system disc.
Precision/standard/magnetic platens, accessories 
and consumables are sold separately.

Precision/Standard Platens
Magnetic Platens
Standard System
Magnetic System
Precision platens are lapped parallel within 2 microns. 
Standard aluminum platens are lapped parallel within 
25 microns. Both are then hard anodized for maximum wear 
resistance. They are used with plain/adhesive backed discs, 
double sided adhesive discs and disc holding bands, or when 
converting to a magnetic platen using magnetic bases.
Magnetic platens combine a precision or standard aluminum 
platen with a cross-hatched magnetic surface for maximum 
flatness and adherence. Only one platen is needed through-
out the grinding and polishing process, allowing all magnetic 
system cloths/abrasive discs or ferromagnetic discs to be 
utilized.

Disc Holding Bands
Disc holding bands are made of anodized aluminum and 
secure plain back discs to a standard platen. A protrusion 
around the top of the band allows variable sized discs 
(± 3 mm) to be secured.

backed abrasive discs/polishing cloths to be easily removed 
after use without any adhesive transfer. The nonslip backing 
keeps the disc in place, even for coarse grinding applications.
