Paramount® Felt Split Laps are made of pure wool felt that has been steamed to shrink and thicken, then pounded into the correct specific hardness. All have pinhole centers. Maximum operating speed: 3,450rpm.
They are known for their:
Consistent density throughout for identical polishing results from wheel to wheel.
Even wear.
3 to 5 times the life of conventional split laps.
Felt products in general have earned and deserved a reputation for centuries for outperforming all other polishing materials. Felt provides the perfect "home" for polishing compounds and slurries of all types.
Felt's porosity accepts fine abrasive particles and continually presents an even, sharp, cutting action.
The resiliency of felt helps to conform the polishing surface to the part.
As felt wears, it always presents an identical medium for polishing compounds.
The ability to machine felt to close tolerances makes it possible to offer the exact felt profile required to match the profile of the part.
Split and beveled laps are very popular with jewelers. Used on a horizontal polishing machine (lapping machine) with the flat side down, the polisher can "see through" the slits as the wheel turns. This allows for pinpoint precise polishing and is especially effective in polishing flat surfaces, angles and corners with no distortion.
