NANO 1000T / FEMTO 1500
Polishing Head
5.10 Metallographic Specimen Preparation Basics
TIP: To optimize individual polishing
machines, the specimen mounts need
to be square. It is recommended that
the specimen be mounted in either a
compression mounting press or with a
rubber mold for castable mounting.
DO NOT USE TAPERED 2-PIECE
MOLDING CUPS for Individual
Specimen Polishing machines.
Rubber molds produce
square mounts
2-piece molds produce
tapered mounts
TIP: Individual polishing machines
DO NOT require coarse planar
grinding. In fact, extremely coarse
grinding with 60 grit down to 180 grit
is not recommended.
If coarse grinding is required, it is
recommended that the PENTA 7500
belt grinder, with its square grinding
attachment be used. The FEMTO
1500 with the central sample fixture
can also be used (see Section 1.5)
USE A BELT GRINDER OR CENTRAL POLISHING FORCE
FIXTURE FOR COARSE GRINDING!!!
