What you will save on cost of Consumables will more than pay for SMART CUT® LP in short period of time
VARIABLE SPEED
from 25 to 1,800 RPM. The SMART CUT® LP– 12” (300mm)has a large range of speeds to accommodate a wide variety of materials and applications. Operator can adjust the RPM as needed. High RPM setting is recommended for grinding and lower RPM setting is recommended for final polishing. Runs very quietly – Perfect for laboratory or production Environment.
Runs cleanly
No plastic aprons and cold, coolant soaked hands are required. Specially designed coolant spray shield keeps coolant in the work area and not on you. The finishing process uses a modest supply of coolant – in most cases, a quart of coolant will last all day.
Clean up is easy
Just remove the coolant spray shield and tray, wash, and you are ready to work again. Versatile & Easy to Use By changing to the appropriate disc/lap, your machine can be used for grinding, lapping, or polishing operation. Your machine has been designed to use a variety of diamond, felt, and abrasive discs/films depending on your individual technique or desired results.

INTERCHANGABLE PSA BACKED DISCS
SMART CUT® (Fixed Abrasive) diamond discs are interchangeable. Each Disc has magnetic backing and attached to the machine steel plate. It takes only seconds to change discs. The operator can go from rough finish to final polish on same machine. By changing to the appropriate disc, your machine can be used for grinding, lapping, or polishing operation. SMART CUT® LP has been designed to use a variety of diamond, felt, and abrasive discs/films depending on your individual technique or desired results
MOST AFFORDABLE MACHINE ON THE MARKET & HIGHEST QUALITY LOW COST CONSUMABLES
What really sets these machines apart is their AFFORDIBILITY. For many applications SMART CUT® LP provide equal results and in less time, then many other much higher cost equipment. Which makes them a Perfect option for organizations of all sizes (manufacturing, R & D) that are on a Budget.
Compare to any brand name Grinding, & Polishing Machines on market today. Your ROI (RETURN ON INVESTMENT) will also be enhanced by affordable cost of consumables (replacement) diamond discs. Which are amount the most competitively prices in the world. What you will save on cost of Consumables will more than pay for these machines short period of time.
MADE IN USA
SMART CUT® LP Machines are made with pride 100% in USA from all parts made in USA. Including all of the consumables diamonds discs (metal bond, resin bond, and felt), diamond paste, slurry, abrasive powders also Made in USA
CAN BE USED WITH BOTH FIXED (ABRASIVE) DIAMOND DISCS & FELT DISCS WITH LOOSE ABRASIVE
These machines can use both Fixed (abrasive) Diamond Discs & Felt discs with loose abrasive (diamond powder, diamond paste, diamond slurry, and all abrasive powders). Allowing you to select the most optimum and economic option for you application. Fixed Abrasive diamond discs (have diamond impeded on the surface of the disc (metal bond) or diamond impregnated inside the disc (resin bond). Advantages of using “Fixed Abrasive” System includes: consistent application of diamond through the entire machine steel plate. Life in number of parts that can be processed (significantly lower consumables cost, and in much shorter time it would take to achieve same results with loose abrasives.
