“PG300 Wafer Polisher Grinder Pads”

Saw some parts labeled made by them, looked to be for a large machine

Main page

Machine:

• 8“ Ameritool universal grinder polisher lapidary

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.

Machine:

• Minimet 69-1000-160: small analog / knob with orange body
• Minimet 69-1000-160: small analog / knob with orange body
• Minimet 69-1000-160: larger analog / knob with white body
• PetroThin
• Varimet 60 1900: looks to be a nice benchtop unit
• Ecomet 2: benchtop unit
• Ecomet III: benchtop unit

• “Buehler Metallurgical Apparatus Polisher”: heavy duty stand alone column type unit, quoted at 90 lbs
• Phoenix 4000

Jig:

• FibrPol: fiber jig

Makes harsh environment seals, might be useful for DIY

Machine:

• “8” Covington Super Diamond Flat Lap, Rock Grinder Polisher Lapidary model 5072ML“

Machine:

• Model 48: large

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

Jigs: fiber polishers. not useful for IC work

Machine:

• Hyprez cabinet large CNC lapping machine? Looks expensive
• Hypres 28SLM230VP-4: large floor unit

Machine:

• 8“ All U Need: economy model found on eBay, list price $500-590

Machine:

• Swap Top: economy lapping for jewelry. eBay list price 250-350

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

Machines:

• Speedfam: tends to be large but there are desktop models
• DFO-900: large
• Model 12: desktop

Jigs:

• Accupol: high precision small jig

Machine:

• “AP-600 AUTO POLISHER”: floor model
• spectrum 2000: benchtop
