They seem to have a wide range of machines.
Minimet: small desktop polishers. Unlike traditional lapping machines that have a large spinning table I think these instead rotate the weight sitting on the sample in a small bowl.

- Minimet 69-1000-160: small analog / knob with orange body

Crystalite Corporation
Machine:
- Crystal master 8: basic 8” desktop unit. Expected to be used with water but could probably be used with CMP fluid as well. Looks like it collects in reservoir under disk and would need to be emptied out after use or modified with a feed for a slurry pump. List 600-900

Lam plan
For metullurgical samples. Didn't see any parallel polishing options. If they do, its their fault for requiring registration to view product brochures
I later found another section of the website where you could get them but it was a mix of french and english. Also broken links. Not all menus displayed correctly in my browser (firefox). Not very impressed
