The TwinPrep 5x™ grinding/polishing machine is 
designed for manual sample preparation. The powerful, 
quiet motor drives both platens simultaneously and 
provides constant high-torque output throughout 
the speed range, in either 10-500 or 20-1,000 RPM 
configurations. A 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 in 
either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.  
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 standard or magnetic 8"/203 mm or 10"/254 mm 
platens may be used with any plain/adhesive backed or 
magnetic system disc.
Standard/magnetic platens, accessories and 
consumables are sold separately.

Magnetic System
Standard aluminum platens are precision lapped parallel, 
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 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.

Magnetic Platen
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.
These reusable ferromagnetic stainless steel discs feature a 
nonslip backing and allow adhesive backed cloths/abrasive 
discs to be changed quickly and easily when using magnetic 
platens.
