8000 Grit Magnetic Nova Lap
Description
Our Magnetic Nova Laps give you the fast polishing performance of Nova Wheels, combined with the convenience of an easy on-off magnetic lap. They attach onto most flat laps and are easily removed.
Magnetic Nova Laps have a 1/16” thick backing of solid rubber containing magnetized iron particles so the laps will adhere to a cast iron, steel, or nickel plated lap. The rubber is also coated with a thick layer of our special Nova resin-bond diamond formula for fast action and lasting service. The surface of the Magnetic Nova is made with a grid pattern for better performance.
You can use the Magnetic Nova’s on your present flat lap set-up in most cases, however, they will not work on aluminum or diamond coated surfaces.
Our recommended general purpose grit sequence for sanding and polishing most flats is to use Magnetic Nova Laps in 30, 60, 280, 600, and 1200 grits, followed by our Super Cerium Oxide Polish on a felt pad. This sequence works especially well when used with our RL Lap Machines. Other sequences may be used with excellent results, depending on the material being polished.
We recommend that Magnetic Nova’s in diameters of 12” and larger, be used with 1” arbor holes. The hole prevents the “dead” center of the revolving lap from “grabbing” your work piece, yet does not prevent you from using the entire surface of the lap.
