Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do I know if I need a left-hand or right-hand thread polishing head?
  A: The thread direction matches your machine spindle rotation. Most lapidary bench polishers use left-hand thread on the left spindle and right-hand thread on the right spindle to prevent the head from unscrewing during operation. Check your machine manual or measure the existing spindle thread direction before ordering.
• Q: What thread adaptor do I need for my lapidary machine?
  A: Thread adaptors are available for 1"-12, 1/2"-20, 3/4"-16, and 5/8"-18 thread sizes. Check your machine spindle thread specification in the owner manual or measure the spindle thread pitch and diameter to identify the correct adaptor size.
• Q: Can I use the same polishing head for different pad types?
  A: Yes - the polishing head system accepts felt pads, canvas pads, leather pads, and master laps with compatible screwback or mounting configurations. Use one polishing head with multiple pad types by swapping pads between polishing stages.
